FORT MILL, South Carolina - — November 10, 2026 — Since joining Brady Corporation in August, the business you've known as Honeywell PSS has become Intelligent Productivity Solutions. As we continue this exciting journey, we want to share some important leadership updates with you, our valued customers, partners, and distributors.
After more than 20 years with Honeywell and PSS, David Barker has decided to step away from the business. His decision follows months of hard work seeing through the acquisition and successful transition to Brady. Many of you have worked alongside him over the years and know the spirit and drive he brought to every relationship.
David's passion and personal commitment to our internal teams and customer relationships inspired many of us. His relentless dedication was foundational to becoming Brady IPS and for that, we thank David wholeheartedly for his many contributions.
As we embrace change, we are reinforcing our commitment to business continuity with transformation that listens to and executes partnership excellence.
We are excited to announce Taylor Smith as the new President of Brady IPS. Taylor has more than 25 years in the industrial technology industry and has had the opportunity to get to know many of you and your businesses over the years. In his previous roles leading marketing and innovation teams at Honeywell and PSS, he has many valuable insights into how our industry functions, and what makes the IPS product offering so unique.
Taylor shared "I am truly excited by the tremendous growth potential we have at Brady and how we can help our customers with their productivity and business aspirations. I have already experienced this in my CTO role, where we increased our R&D investment, and reshaped innovation with our software and technology strategy. I personally commit to keep doing what we do best: co-innovate with our customers and reflect transformation thoughtfully throughout our organization."
