The access control and security management product manufacturer Gallagher Security has appointed Josh Arnold as Chief Product Officer.
Gallagher Security Chief Executive Mark Junge says the appointment signals a new chapter for Gallagher, at a time of significant industry change and opportunity.ย Mark says: “With a wealth of international experience and a passion for both product leadership and engineering, Josh brings a unique perspective to Gallagher. Security is undergoing one of the most transformative periods in its history, driven by rapid advances and customer expectations.
โJosh brings the experience, commercial focus, and product leadership needed to ensureย Gallagherย leadsย these changes. His appointment strengthens our commitment toย developingย secure, innovative, and globally trusted solutionsย manufacturedย in New Zealand.โ
Josh is leading the teams responsible for designing, developing and delivering Gallagherโs devices, platforms and services.
He has an engineering background and more than 15 years leading international product and technology companies.
โGallagher is the only trueย beginning to endย security technology companyย Iโve ever encountered,โย says Josh.ย ย โWe design, engineer, manufacture, test,ย distributeย and support every one of our security products right here in New Zealand. You can walk the floorย at our Head Officeย and see devices coming off the line.โ
Josh adds:ย โWhat attracted me most to Gallagher was its culture. Thereโs a deep pride in building exceptional products and a genuine belief in solving meaningful problems for customers around the world.โ
The role of a Chief Product Officer is more strategically important than ever, he says.ย ย โIn an AI-capable world, the lines between product and technology have dissolved. Customers expect systems that are intelligent, secure, intuitive, and constantly evolving. Helping Gallagher meet and exceed those expectations is an incredible opportunity. In many ways, Gallagher embodies classic Kiwi ingenuity – practical, inventive, and confident – that has helped New Zealand compete so successfully on the global stage. For 87 years, Gallagher has exported world-class innovation to customers around the world. Iโm excited to help shape the next chapter of that story.”
