Gallagher Security has appointed Josh Arnold as Chief Product Officer, which the company says will bring his extensive experience across New Zealand, Europe and the US to lead its product portfolio.
“I’m delighted to welcome Josh to Gallagher as Chief Product Officer,” said the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mark Junge.
“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.
“Josh brings the experience, commercial focus and product leadership needed to ensure Gallagher leads these changes.
“His appointment strengthens our commitment to developing secure, innovative and globally trusted solutions manufactured in New Zealand.”
As Chief Product Officer, Arnold leads the teams responsible for designing, developing and delivering the company’s devices, platforms and services.
With an engineering background and more than 15 years, Arnold aligns customer insight with a commercial focus.
“Gallagher is the only true beginning to end security technology company I’ve ever encountered,” said Arnold.
“We design, engineer, manufacture, test, distribute and support every one of our security products right here in New Zealand. You can walk the floor at our Head Office and see devices coming off the line.”
He added that company’s culture, track record of innovation and long-term commitment to engineering excellence were major drawcards.
“What attracted me most to Gallagher was its culture,” Arnold commented.
“There’s a deep pride in building exceptional products and a genuine belief in solving meaningful problems for customers around the world.”
He continued that the role of a Chief Product Officer in 2026 is more strategically important than ever.
“In 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.”
