Otis Technology promoted Brad McIntyre to chief executive officer, effective January 1, 2026. McIntyre currently serves as executive vice president and has worked for Otis for over 25 years.

McIntyre will succeed Bill Kleftis, who has served as CEO since 2022.

“Brad’s promotion is a natural evolution for Otis,” said Kleftis. He’s not a newcomer; we’ve grown together, and he’s helped shape the company into what it is today. His ability to inspire teams and execute strategy has been instrumental in our success. I am confident that under Brad’s leadership, Otis will continue to thrive and evolve while staying true to our roots.”

Doreen Williams, Otis Technology’s founder and board chair, added, “When I hear the word Otis, I feel family. Brad has been part of the Otis family for many years, and his promotion is not just a milestone for the company but a reflection of the culture we’ve nurtured since day one. His leadership is grounded in integrity, mutual respect and a deep commitment to our employees, customers and the communities we serve. His leadership will carry Otis forward with strength and purpose.”
