Ecolab

Chairman and CEO Christophe Beck has driven a coherent strategy blending productivity (One Ecolab) with targeted growth bets in high‑tech, digital and life sciences. The CFO role is held by Scott Kirkland. Governance features a seasoned board with recent additions bolstering finance expertise.

Insider ownership is modest but aligned through long‑term incentive mix; insider Form 4s show normal option exercises and occasional sales. The team has navigated inflation, supply chain volatility and portfolio moves (e.g., sale of global surgical solutions) while expanding margins and cash flow.

Execution risk remains around integrating Ovivo and delivering heightened productivity targets, but credibility is supported by the cadence of results and raised savings outlook.
