Denise L. Ramos has been the CEO of ITT Inc. since October 2011, bringing a wealth of financial expertise to the table. Before stepping into her current role, she was the Chief Financial Officer at ITT, but her career spans various positions such as CFO at Furniture Brands International and Senior Vice President at Yum! Brands, where she focused on corporate finance. Her leadership at ITT has been marked by strong performance metrics, evidenced by an impressive annual incentive bonus payout of up to 150% based on the company's earnings and revenue growth. Under her guidance, the company's stock value has consistently increased, with her own stock holdings reflecting significant growth—from around $19.55 million in late 2019 to over $43 million recently. Ramos also has a notable preference for stock ownership among executives to align with long-term goals and shareholder interests. Outside of her professional role, ITT supports a practice known as householding for its shareholders, aimed at reducing costs and being more environmentally friendly. This reflects a modern leadership style that balances the company’s economic goals with social responsibility.
