Experience

1. Region President

   Securitas Security Services USA, Inc.

   Jan 1975 — Present

   I provide executive oversight, including total P&L and operational authority for New England’s largest Security Services provider. I have been fortunate enough to have spent my entire career (43 years) with one company which is now branded as Securitas Security Services, USA, Inc. Starting as a security officer, I progressed up through the management ranks holding virtually all positions within the organization. In 1990, I was promoted to Vice President. In 2003, I was appointed as President of the New England Region and now the Northeast Region to include New York and New Jersey. My career path has enabled me to gain a unique perspective of both client and employee expectations that very few executives experience firsthand. I am currently transitioning out of the Region Presidents position for the Northeast Region as I ready for retirement. Transitioning now will ensure a seamless change for clients and employees moving forward.
