Leadership Team
Scott Parry — President and Co-Founder
Introduced to the energy intensity and primitive pneumatic controls of the compressed air world by his father’s compressor parts and service business and intrigued by the burgeoning field of computers, Scott co-founded Bay Controls with his high school classmate, Tom Reed, in 1983 driven by the idea that computerized controls could deliver safer, more reliable, and more efficient air compressor operation to large industrial compressed air users.
Tom Reed — Vice President and Co-Founder
A lifelong proponent of technology, Tom’s early embrace of computer hardware and software design were crucial to turning the idea of a computerized air compressor controller into the product that built Bay Controls. As its guiding technologist, Tom has constantly kept Bay at the forefront: the first computerized compressor controller in 1984, the first internet-based industrial monitoring service in 1997, and an early internet-controlled thermostat in 2009.
Mike Bavis — CFO & General Manager
Though an accountant by training, Mike can regularly be found testing the latest software release, advising the project team, or sifting through the minutiae of international trade agreements. As the CFO and General Manager, Mike keeps a guiding hand on all aspects of Bay Controls and ensures that all the I’s are dotted and T’s crossed.
