Regal Rexnord Initiates CEO Transition Process for Future Growth
On October 29, 2025, Regal Rexnord Corporation, a leader in automation and motion control solutions, announced the launch of a search for a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). This decision follows the company’s established succession planning process and comes as a pivotal moment in its journey towards continued growth and innovation.
The Board of Directors expressed deep gratitude to Louis Pinkham, who has served as CEO since April 2019. Under his guidance, Regal Rexnord has undergone a significant transformation, enhancing its market position and expanding its enterprise value from approximately $4.5 billion to an impressive $15 billion. During his tenure, the company also achieved nearly 100% total shareholder return, including reinvested dividends, showcasing the effectiveness of his leadership.
Rakesh Sachdev, Chairman of the Board of Directors, acknowledged Pinkham’s profound contributions to the company, particularly noting his achievements in the integration and transformation of Regal Rexnord. Sachdev stated, "The Board believes the Company is well-positioned for its next phase of growth based on the enhanced customer value proposition and all the work Louis and our dedicated team of 30,000 associates have accomplished thus far."
In response, Louis Pinkham reflected on his experiences, saying, "It has been an immense honor to lead the Company for the past six plus years. I believe the Company's business and team are strong and that now is a good time for a new leader to drive the next chapter for Regal Rexnord." He has committed to remaining as CEO until a suitable successor is found to ensure a smooth leadership transition.
To facilitate this process, the Board has enlisted a prominent executive search firm to assist in finding a qualified candidate to take the reins. Pinkham will also resign from the Board once a new CEO is appointed.
