Taylor Carr Appointed President of Allied Universal Technology Services in Leadership Transition
Allied Universal has promoted Taylor Carr to president of its technology services division, signaling a strategic focus on operational excellence and growth in the security systems integration market.
Allied Universal has elevated Taylor Carr to president of Allied Universal Technology Services, positioning the experienced security industry executive to lead one of the largest security systems integrators in the United States. The promotion comes as Carey Boethel departs the organization to pursue new opportunities outside the security industry, though he will maintain ties with Allied Universal as an advocate and investor.
Carr brings more than 25 years of executive leadership and operational expertise to the role, having previously served as executive vice president of Allied Universal Technology Services following the company's acquisition of Securadyne Systems. His most recent demonstration of transformational leadership came during his tenure as president of Vision Technologies, where he drove significant revenue growth, implemented enterprise resource planning modernization, restructured operations, and expanded service offerings to deliver improved profitability and long-term value.
Allied Universal Global Chairman and CEO Steve Jones emphasized Carr's qualifications for the position, stating that his track record uniquely positions him to lead the company into its next chapter of growth and innovation. 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.
The leadership change at Allied Universal Technology Services comes as the security industry continues to evolve with increasing technological integration and smart security solutions. As one of the largest security systems integrators in the U.S., the division plays a critical role in Allied Universal's broader security ecosystem. The company serves as trusted partner to more than 400 of the Fortune 500 companies, delivering innovative solutions and cutting-edge smart technologies that enable clients to focus on their core businesses.
Carr's educational background includes a bachelor's degree in criminology and criminal justice from the University of Maryland, and he maintains professional affiliations with key industry organizations including SIA (Security Industry Association) and ASIS International. His return to Allied Universal Technology Services in early 2025 as senior vice president of operations positioned him for this latest promotion, demonstrating the company's confidence in his ability to drive the technology services division forward during a period of rapid industry transformation.
