Ewa Pigna’s leadership places her at the centre of access control, integrated security and connected building technology. In 2026, she was named President of Honeywell’s Security and Access Solutions business, a role that places her close to product direction, customer priorities and the systems used across commercial, enterprise and multi-site environments. The business includes technologies connected to access control, security management and building automation, all of which are increasingly important as organisations seek more joined-up approaches to protecting people, assets and spaces.
Her appointment followed her role as Chief Technology Officer for the same business, where she helped shape the roadmap for its future development. That technical background gives her leadership particular weight at a time when physical security is moving towards software-led platforms, AI-enabled decision support and stronger cyber awareness.
Technology direction and customer focus
Pigna’s work is significant because access control and building security are no longer isolated disciplines. Customers increasingly expect systems that can integrate with wider building infrastructure, support operational efficiency and respond to changing risk. Her leadership sits within that shift, where physical security, digital connectivity and enterprise resilience are becoming more closely linked.
Following Honeywell’s acquisition of Carrier’s Access Solutions portfolio in 2024, including LenelS2, Onity and Supra, the Security and Access Solutions business has become an important part of Honeywell Building Automation’s security strategy. Pigna’s role in scaling research and development, strengthening the business roadmap and focusing on innovation gives her a direct influence on how security technology evolves for installers, integrators and end users. Her profile also provides a strong example of technical leadership progressing into senior executive responsibility within a major global security business.
