John brings to the position 30 years of military, law enforcement and security guarding, that along with his business development skills and ability to drive growth and establish relationships, will serve him well in this role and will further deepen the quality of service that Arrow Security can provide to clients in the region. Prior to Arrow Security, John served as Brosnan Risk Consultants’ New York Metro District Manager and Account Manager for New York City, and most recently as Vice President of Northeast Operations and Business Development, where he oversaw day-to-day operations to ensure efficiency and drive constant improvement, developed and implemented strategic initiatives to capture new business opportunities and increase revenue, and mentored and empowered team members to excel in sales techniques and customer relationship management.

He was honorably discharged in 2000.

“John and Jerry both bring decades of law enforcement experience and proven track records of driving results in the rapidly evolving security industry,” said AJ Caro, CEO of Arrow Security. “Their strong acumen in business and public safety leadership, and their abilities to build strong relationships, will have a tremendous impact on our Pennsylvania and New Jersey markets.”
