Johnson Controls has named Richard Lek as vice president and president of Building Solutions Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America (EMEALA) with immediate effect.

Lek will serve as a member of the company’s Executive Committee and lead the execution of its go-to-market strategy in EMEALA using customer and market insights to capture new growth opportunities.

Based in Johnson Controls’ Rotterdam office, he succeeds Marc Vandiepenbeeck who will continues to serve as executive vice president and Chief Financial Officer of Johnson Controls.

“Richard brings a wealth of experience to his new role, building on a successful decades-long career at Johnson Controls driving business results in Europe,” says Johnson Controls Chairman and CEO George Oliver. “We’ve seen an improvement in our EMEALA segment as we have implemented our end-to-end operating model. I have every confidence that he will continue the incredible progress we’ve experienced the past two years, which included a significant improvement in profitability.”

Lek joined Johnson Controls more than 20 years ago and has deep knowledge of products, markets and customers, having held multiple roles across both the field and Global Products businesses. Prior to taking this role, he served as vice president & general manager, Continental Europe, where he drove business growth with double digit return on sales, operational efficiency improvements and positive performance metrics.
