Taylor Carr Appointed President of Allied Universal Technology Services

Allied Universal, the world's leading security and facility services provider, has announced the promotion of Taylor Carr to president of Allied Universal Technology Services, one of the largest security systems integrators in the United States. Carr brings more than 25 years of executive leadership and operational expertise in the security and technology services industry to this critical role. His appointment comes at a time when the security technology sector is experiencing rapid evolution and increased demand for integrated solutions.

Carr's extensive background includes serving as executive vice president of Allied Universal Technology Services following the company's acquisition of Securadyne Systems. He further demonstrated his leadership capabilities as president of Vision Technologies, where he drove significant revenue growth, implemented an enterprise resource planning modernization, restructured operations, and expanded service offerings to deliver improved profitability and long-term value. His return to Allied Universal Technology Services in early 2025 as senior vice president of operations positioned him for this latest promotion.

Allied Universal Global Chairman and CEO Steve Jones emphasized Carr's qualifications, stating that throughout his career, Carr has consistently shown himself to be a strategic, solutions-driven leader who excels in operational management, M&A integration, and the development of high-performing teams.

Carr takes the helm as Carey Boethel departs to pursue new personal and professional growth opportunities outside of the security industry. Boethel will continue his relationship with Allied Universal as an advocate and investor. The leadership change reflects Allied Universal's commitment to maintaining strong executive talent capable of navigating the complex security technology landscape.
