Security and facility services provider Allied Universal has appointed Michael Prabhu as vice president of enterprise accounts for its janitorial business unit, where he will be responsible for building and maintaining relationships with large corporate clients to drive sales and revenue across multiple regions in the US.
Michael’s knowledge of commercial real estate development, investment and operations provides key insight for clients on how to strategically maintain their premises. He will partner with other Allied Universal businesses to expand existing client relationships into the janitorial division.
"Michael brings more than 25 years of sales and client management leadership expertise in the commercial real estate market segment," explains Mark Olivas, the division’s president. "His background and expertise are perfectly aligned to further advance the expansion of Allied Universal Janitorial Services with focused support and management of existing and prospective customer accounts."
Michael, who earned a bachelor of arts degree in political science from the University of California, Davis, has served in a number of senior-level commercial real estate sales and client management roles focusing on operational oversight for brokerage and asset management activities. He joins Allied Universal from Twenty One 11 Ventures.

"We are excited to have Michael join our team and look forward to working with him to deliver on our promise providing exceptional janitorial service offerings to our customers across the country."
