Self-Storage Supplier Janus International Announces Changes to Board of Directors

Janus International Group, a global manufacturer and supplier of building solutions and access-control technology for the self-storage industry, announced that Tony Byerly, Joseph F.

“We thank Clearlake and specifically José and Colin for their partnership over the last six years and congratulate them on their exit,” Fradin said. “We believe Janus will be well-served with the new director leadership going forward. Tony, Joseph, and Eileen bring a wealth of experience in security, finance, cybersecurity and technology to the board, and we look forward to their insights and expertise.”

“We are pleased to welcome Tony, Joseph and Eileen who will further strengthen and diversify our board,” said Janus CEO Ramey Jackson. “We look forward to leveraging their broad range of knowledge and experience to expand our platform and advance our corporate strategy to combine best-in-class self-storage offerings with new and innovative technologies.”
