Gallagher Security accelerates growth with Americas leadership team transformation

CANTON, GA - Gallagher Security is strengthening its leadership bench across the Americas as the business continues a clear growth trajectory, with more than 30 percent growth forecast for the current financial year across the region.

“Planning for strategic expansion has been a key focus for our team this year. We are incredibly excited about the opportunity ahead, and it is crucial that we set our teams up for success - not just in capability, but in the culture we build along the way," says Matt Butts, Gallagher Executive Vice President - Americas.

As the business scales, Gallagher is investing in the leadership and organizational structure needed to support its next phase of growth across the Americas - deepening regional focus, strengthening partner engagement, and building the capability to serve larger, more complex markets. As part of this evolution, the company today announced three key promotions within its Americas sales organization.

Jeff Fields has been promoted to Regional Vice President, Sales - US East, LATAM and Federal Markets. A seasoned leader with extensive experience supporting End Users, Channel Partners, and government programs, Fields will oversee sales strategy, team leadership, and business development across these key markets, and will serve as an executive sponsor for key customer and partner relationships.

"After more than 35 years in this industry, I've learned that success is rooted in trust, serving customers, and supporting the people around you. I'm honored to step into this expanded role, and I look forward to paying forward the knowledge and lessons that have shaped my career as we continue to grow across the Americas," says Fields.
Natalie Bannon has been promoted to Senior Director, Strategic Accounts & Vertical Markets - Americas. Bannon has been instrumental in building strategic relationships and driving key initiatives for Gallagher, including the establishment of the company's global Consultant Program. In her expanded role, she will lead strategic account development and vertical market engagement, working closely with End Users, Technology Partners, and Channel Partners to accelerate growth in key industries.

"One of my favorite parts of what I do has always been connecting dots - bringing together customers, partners, people, and ideas that might otherwise sit in separate lanes. This role expands the opportunity to turn more of those connections into growth and impact. I'm grateful for the opportunity and excited for what's ahead," says Bannon.

Charles Reed joins Gallagher as Regional Vice President, Sales – US West and Canada, effective September 8, 2026. Charles brings more than two decades of leadership, sales, and business development experience across the security and technology industries, most recently as Regional Sales Director at i-PRO Americas. As RVP, Charles will lead Gallagher's sales organization across the Western United States and Canada, focusing on strengthening End User and Channel relationships, developing talent across the region, and driving sustainable, long-term growth.

“I am really looking forward to joining the Gallagher team and supporting Channel Partners and End Users to unlock more value from their security solutions. I am especially excited to join my new colleagues on the floor at GSX next week, I have my orange shoes ready to go!”.

Of the team transformation Matt Butts says:
“Enabling the next phase for Gallagher really comes down to our people, and I am thrilled to congratulate Jeff, Natalie, and Charles on their new roles. I have every confidence that they, along with their dedicated teams, will continue to deliver strong results both for Gallagher and our partners across the Americas."

These appointments reflect Gallagher Security's ongoing investment in capability and capacity as the business scales. The expanded Americas leadership team will be available to meet customers and partners at booth #3433, GSX 2026, September 14–16 in Atlanta, alongside the latest innovations in the Gallagher Security product suite including Visitor Management powered by Kenai, QuickSwitch, OneLink and more.
