布朗接替了前流程系统总裁迈克·卡利尔，卡利尔已接受了总部位于休斯顿的综合电气服务公司总裁兼首席执行官的职位。
近年来，布朗帮助推动了几个Invensys业务单位的加速增长。这些包括SimSCI-Esscor仿真软件组和Foxboro测量和仪器组。�HE先前领导了该公司的分析仪表组，并达到了近14年的Invensys。他将在广泛寻求替代卡利尔的替代方面担任代理主席。
In his roles as general manager of SimSci-Esscor and Foxboro M&I, Brown helped formulate and execute Invensys Process Systems’ current business strategythat has unified the previously separate Foxboro, Triconex, SimSci-Esscor, and Avantis brands and related services organizations into a single business entity.
Commented Ulf Henriksson, chief executive officer of Invensys plc, “Mike Caliel has been a great leader for Invensys Process Systems and will surely be missed.Clearly, the appeal to move up to a chief executive’s role in a company headquartered in close proximity to his family was too strong for Mike to pass up.However, we have every confidence that Ken Brown is exactly the right person to provide the clear vision and strong leadership that Invensys Process Systems needs to complete the execution of its current strategy, which has so far exceeded our expectations.”
Brown补充道:“Mike Caliel和我几乎是在同一时间来到英维思公司的，多年来我们一直在密切合作。It近年来有幸成为他的管理团队的一员，并参与了英维思过程系统公司的成功转型。Mike提供了将过程系统转换回响应性强、以客户为中心的组织所需的愿景和领导力。我们将怀念Mike强有力的领导力和随时准备好的微笑，但他对英维思过程系统(Invensys Process Systems)的统一愿景将继续存在，并受到客户、竞争对手和员工的尊重。”
