Following a recent merger and integration, I transitioned from my previous role at Tyco SimplexGrinnell to the Building Solutions, North America business at Johnson Controls. The key responsibilities in this new position include directing internal communications across our fire protection, security, HVAC and building controls businesses, championing the brand transition from Tyco to Johnson Controls, and leading a thought leadership webinar series focused on trends and advances in fire protection. I also continue to play an integral role in external marketing efforts to grow our business and help customers understand the value Johnson Controls provides by making buildings safer, smarter and more sustainable.
