Burroughs Inc., a Plymouth, Michigan-based provider of support and maintenance for financial services equipment, has named Anson Martin CEO. 

"I am extremely excited to join the Burroughs team and build on the legacy of such a long-established, 133-year brand," Martin said in a company press release. "I look forward to reinforcing our value offering and relevance with our customers, focused on strengthening our relationships and consistently meeting their evolving needs as a trusted partner."

Martin joins Burroughs from the energy storage industry where he held a series of executive positions in increasing in responsibility. Most recently, he was the chief commercial officer at ZPower, a Southern California-based company that makes rechargeable batteries, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Meanwhile, Ed Boyd, who had been serving as acting CEO of the company since May 2018, has taken the new position of chief operations officer, reporting directly to the CEO. Boyd stepped into the CEO position when the company's former CEO Andrew Lawson retired.  

John Gatti, chairman of Burroughs' board, said in the release that the changes were consistent with the company's strategy to better serve its customers, markets, employees and investors.
