Adrian Chiu first joined Golden Valley-based Pentair in 2011 as senior director of HR technology and services. After quickly demonstrating his effective leadership, Chiu assumed more responsibility, including a pivotal role in the 2018 separation of Pentair’s electrical business. In 2021, he was appointed to the executive team, where his accomplishments include standing up Pentair’s transformation office and advancing DEI efforts, which saw sustained positive increases in the representation of women and people of color in leadership positions at Pentair since 2019. In January, Chiu became segment president, leading the company’s newly formed Water Solutions division. In this role, he has overseen the successful integration of the company’s acquisition of Manitowoc Ice, which contributed to a 32% sales increase for the division in Q1. Chiu has also served on the Minnesota Children’s Museum board since 2018.
