Jan. 28, 2015: ABM Names Industry Veteran Scott Salmirs as Next CEO
Salmirs Has Been with the Company Since 2003
NEW YORK — ABM, a leading provider of facility solutions including facilities engineering, energy solutions, HVAC, electrical, and more, announced that its board of directors has named executive vice president Scott Salmirs to succeed current president and chief executive officer Henrik Slipsager, effective March 31, 2015. The board and Slipsager together determined that because of the company’s recent strong performance, its depth of talent, and the completion of its reorganization and rebranding, it is the appropriate time to effect a leadership transition as a part of the board’s succession planning.
Salmirs has been appointed to the ABM board of directors effective immediately. While Slipsager has agreed to stay on in a consulting role with ABM following the transition through Sept. 30, 2015, his term on the board will end on March 4, 2015 at the company’s annual meeting of shareholders.
