The new organisation will be led by Todd Grabowski

IRELAND: Johnson Controls has created a dedicated Global Data Centre Solutions organisation to provide integrated solutions to data centre customers around the world. 

The new organisation will be led by Todd Grabowski, who has more than 30 years of experience at Johnson Controls, most recently as vice president and general manager, HVACR. He will continue to lead that portfolio but combine it with the role of president of Global Data Centre Solutions, reporting directly to chairman and CEO George Oliver.

“Over the last few years, we have been investing and building momentum in the data centre market to establish Johnson Controls’ leading position. It is clear our offering is resonating with customers, and we are now taking further steps to capture the growth opportunity ahead of us,” George Oliver said. 

“Todd and his team will prioritise offering our full suite of smart building technologies — coupling our unique set of energy-efficient, sustainable, and safe data centre solutions with unmatched service — to meet increasing demand and drive Johnson Controls’ continued growth and value creation.”
