Brennan will be Iron Mountain's new chief executive

Iron Mountain Inc. announced today that president and chief operating officer Bob Brennan will succeed Richard Reese as its chief executive in June.

Iron Mountain, a Boston company that provides information protection and storage services, said that Reese had notified its board of directors of his intention to step down as chief executive, a position he has held since 1981, at Iron Mountain’s annual meeting on June 5; he will become the company’s first executive chairman of the board.

“This transition represents a natural evolution of the senior leadership at Iron Mountain," Reese said in a statement. "I have been discussing a succession plan with the board and I feel that now is the appropriate time to implement it. Bob has been a leading candidate for the CEO position since he joined the company in 2004.”
