Taylor Carr Appointed President of Allied Universal Technology Services

Allied Universal 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. This leadership transition comes as Carey Boethel departs to pursue new personal and professional growth opportunities outside of the security industry, though Boethel will maintain his relationship with Allied Universal as an advocate and investor.

Carr brings more than 25 years of executive leadership and operational expertise in the security and technology services industry to his new role. His history with Allied Universal Technology Services dates back to his position as executive vice president following the company's acquisition of Securadyne Systems. After demonstrating transformational leadership as president of Vision Technologies, where he drove significant revenue growth and implemented enterprise resource planning modernization, Carr returned to Allied Universal Technology Services in early 2025 as senior vice president of operations.

Allied Universal Global Chairman and CEO Steve Jones emphasized Carr's qualifications for the position, 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. Jones noted that Carr's track record uniquely positions him to lead the company into its next chapter of growth and innovation.

The leadership change at one of the nation's largest security systems integrators carries significant implications for the security technology industry. Under Carr's previous leadership at Vision Technologies, he successfully restructured operations, expanded service offerings, and delivered improved profitability and long-term value. These experiences suggest potential strategic shifts and operational improvements that could enhance Allied Universal Technology Services' competitive position in the rapidly evolving security technology market.

Allied Universal, as the world's leading security and facility services provider, serves as a trusted partner to more than 400 of the Fortune 500 companies. The organization delivers unparalleled customer relationships, innovative solutions, cutting-edge smart technologies and tailored services that enable clients to focus on their core businesses. With operations in over 100 countries and territories, Allied Universal is the third-largest private employer in North America and seventh in the world, generating annual revenue of approximately $23 billion.

Carr's educational background includes a bachelor's degree in criminology and criminal justice from the University of Maryland. His professional affiliations include membership in SIA (Security Industry Association) and ASIS International, positioning him well within the broader security industry community.
