Mike Vale leads 3M’s Safety & Industrial Business Group, which includes personal safety, adhesives and tapes, abrasives, closure and masking systems, electrical markets, automotive aftermarket, and roofing granules.

He was most recently head of 3M’s Health Care Business Group, and prior to that led the company’s Consumer Business Group. Over the years, his career with 3M has sent him abroad four times for varied roles, including research chemist, manufacturing director and general manager.

“A decades-long career at 3M can span a diverse range of businesses, market segments and geographies,” Mike says. “I’ve been fortunate enough to see this company from many, many angles—and 3M is impressive no matter where you are in the world.”

Mike joined the company in 1992, shortly after earning a Ph.D. in chemistry from M.I.T. He was a senior research chemist in the Visual Systems Division before joining 3M Italy as a product development engineer. He returned to the Visual Systems Division before another posting in Italy as a laboratory and project manager. In 2001, Mike returned to the U.S. as one of 3M’s first Six Sigma “master black belts.” Those two years, he says, are what really grounded him in company-wide priorities.

Mike later became general manager of 3M Spain. In 2008, he returned to the U.S. to become vice president and general manager of [Aearo Technologies LLC](/org/aearo-technologies-llc), which 3M acquired that year. After spending almost two years with Aearo integrating it into 3M, Mike became managing director of 3M Brazil in 2009. In 2011, he became executive vice president of the Consumer Business Group, and in 2016 was appointed executive vice president of the Health Care Business Group.

So what does he do when he’s not in the office? “Sleep,” Mike jokes, though he will say more seriously that he tries to focus his energies where they will do the most good. For him, that comes down to business/market analysis and team success. Mike is most proud of seeing the success of coworkers and people he has mentored during his time at the company.

Mike serves as a member of the board of directors of The Toro Company and is a former trustee of the Science Museum of Minnesota. He can also be found running, antiquing, reading science fiction and spending time with his family.

Helping to maximize 3M’s shareholder value has always been at the core of Eric’s responsibilities as a financial leader.

“I am extremely thankful for the company and leaders I work for at 3M,” Eric says. “I feel blessed as part of this family, giving everything I have to leave 3M in a better place, every day.”

In his spare time, Eric dedicates himself to being a loving husband and father, and growing his family. He enjoys pushing himself mentally and physically in a broad range of athletics. Personal health and fitness is his passion.

He served in that role until 2012, when he became global business director for 3M’s Industrial Adhesives and Tapes Division. Three years later, he was tapped to lead 3M’s corporate research lab.

In 2016, John moved to West Europe to serve as managing director of 3M’s D-A-CH region, which represents the company’s combined operations in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. He was appointed 3M’s chief technology officer and senior vice president of research and development in July 2017.

In his current position, John remains focused on driving change, challenging the status quo and helping develop the 3M leaders of tomorrow. “Leadership is about serving more than yourself,” he says. “It’s about creating an environment that unlocks the full potential of teams and individuals and, as a result, achieves even higher performance and more engaged employees.”

John has a Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry from [Stanford University](/org/stanford), and a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from [Hamline University](/org/hamline-university). In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and three kids, as well as a variety of outdoor activities including hiking, biking and fishing.
