Why this org is unusual

The most distinctive feature of Otis’ structure is the elevation of a global COO role in early 2026 alongside powerful regional presidents reporting directly to the CEO.

Judy Marks maintains a relatively tight span of control, with finance, operations and major geographies reporting directly to her. The addition of a formal COO consolidates global operations that were previously led primarily through regional presidents.
