CANTON, GA — Gallagher Security is thrilled to announce the appointment of Matt Butts as Executive Vice President – the Americas, effective September 15.
With more than 25 years of experience in the security and software industries, Matt has built a strong record of driving growth and leading high-performing teams. He’s held leadership roles at Johnson Controls, Tyco Integrated Security, ADT, and most recently served as Senior Director of Global Security Sales at Transact Campus, where he successfully led global expansion efforts and strengthened the company’s position in key markets.
In his new role, Matt will lead Gallagher’s operations across North, Central, and South America, guiding regional strategy as Gallagher continues to expand its presence in the region. He’s enthusiastic about joining the team, citing the company’s 85-year history and tangible drive as key factors that attracted him to the role.
“Gallagher stands out for its culture and commitment to innovation,” says Matt. “I see a company with the capability and solutions to play a much bigger role across the Americas. I strongly believe Gallagher’s solutions are the best available, and I’m eager to work alongside the team to help more businesses in our market see that, too. The momentum already created in this region is inspiring, and I can’t wait to get started.”
Mark Junge, Chief Executive, believes Matt will lead the team to set new standards of success.
“Matt’s passion for innovation and ability to inspire teams makes him the right leader to accelerate our momentum in the Americas,” Junge says. “He brings dynamic energy and genuine passion to the role, and most importantly, his core values are aligned with our mission to protect what matters most. I’m confident Matt will make this role his own in a way that furthers our global vision.”
The way Matt sees it, that means tapping into the region’s greatest asset: its people.
“When you ask security professionals what makes Gallagher stand out, it’s always the people,” he explains. “My leadership philosophy is built around empowering people and fostering a culture where teams can do their best work. I believe that when people feel trusted, supported, and inspired, they achieve remarkable results. At Gallagher, I see an opportunity to harness that kind of energy to deliver real impact for our end customers and partners.”
Matt will be joining the Gallagher Security Americas team at GSX 2025 in New Orleans at booth #3339 from September 29 to October 1 and invites all GSX attendees to stop by to say hello.
