Bosch Security Names Interim President As Hurley Exits Industry
FAIRPORT, N.Y.
Shamus Hurley has left his position as president of Bosch Security Systems and will relocate to Cleveland to become CEO of a large water filtration corporation, Security Sales & Integration has learned.
Christopher Gerace, CFO for Bosch Security Systems in North America, will serve as acting president. The company is conducting a search for a permanent successor to Hurley, who was promoted to president in 2005.
Hurley had a 20-year history in the fire alarm and security industry. He had been with Bosch Security Systems since joining the company in 2002 as vice president of sales. Before joining Bosch, Hurley held sales and management positions at Honeywell in its Protection Services, Building Services and Automation Control divisions.
No further management reorganization is expected at this time, a company spokesperson told SSI.
“Our customers’ success will continue to remain our highest priority, and we are confident the leadership team we have in place will deliver the level of service that customers expect from us,” Uwe Glock, Chairman of the Board of Management, Bosch Security Systems, expressed in a letter that has gone out to customers.
Gerace has been with Bosch for 10 years, during which he fulfilled a central role in the successful integration of Detection Systems and Philips CSI into Bosch Security Systems.
