Bloomington, MN (September 30, 2019) – Harmon, Inc., a leader in building façade solutions for U.S. commercial buildings, announced that Troy Johnson will assume the position of President effective March 1, 2020, following the retirement of current president Brad Austin.

“It has been an honor to serve as president of Harmon and I am incredibly proud of everything our team has accomplished together,” said Austin. “Since we completed our strategic shift to project execution, we have nearly doubled the size of our business and positioned the company well for future growth.”
Johnson joined Harmon in July 2011 and has been a member of the executive leadership team responsible for driving the businesses’ strategic focus and direction since October 2011. He has more than two decades of experience in the glass and glazing industry.
