Azure Access Technology, a U.S.-based manufacturer making waves with its enterprise-grade access control hardware platforms, has just announced a significant addition to its leadership team: Joseph Grillo is joining the Board of Directors. Grillo is a well-known figure in the electronic security and identification industry, bringing over three decades of experience in driving growth and innovation.
Azure Access Technology aims to empower software-focused enterprises by providing a flexible, open-architecture hardware platform for building top-tier access control solutions. Their comprehensive SDK streamlines integration, supports proprietary customization, and allows partners to concentrate on what makes their solutions unique. All this is backed by robust, U.S.-made hardware and first-class support from integration to deployment.
A Milestone for Growth
“Joseph’s appointment marks a significant milestone in Azure Access’ growth journey,” said Evan Zinger, Executive Vice President of Azure Access Technology. “His deep industry expertise, entrepreneurial leadership, and track record of scaling security businesses globally will be invaluable as we accelerate our mission to become a leader in the enterprise access control space.”
Grillo is best known for founding ACRE, LLC in 2012, a platform for strategic acquisitions in the electronic security market. ACRE’s portfolio included Mercury Security — which operates on a similar business model to Azure Access. Under Grillo’s leadership, Mercury Security experienced rapid growth and expanded its market presence. Before ACRE, he held important roles at HID, where he participated in a management buyout in 1995. As President, he grew the company from a US$15 million enterprise into a US$100 million industry leader before its successful sale to ASSA ABLOY in 2001. Grillo then led ASSA ABLOY’s $750 million Global Technology Division and served as President and Board Member of the Security Industry Association (SIA) from 1998 to 2007.
Grillo’s Vision for Azure Access
“I’m excited to join Azure Access Technology at such a pivotal time,” said Grillo. “I have confidence in the ability of the management team to execute their vision of empowering enterprise software companies with their open, yet customizable access-control product platform. Combined with their commitment to partner support and U.S.-based manufacturing, Azure Access is positioned for substantial growth. I look forward to contributing to Azure Access’ development and market leadership.”
Focus on Strategic Growth
In his new role, Grillo will focus on business development and strategic growth initiatives, guiding Azure Access as it expands its presence and influence within the security technology landscape.
