Mission 500, the security industry’s nonprofit charity dedicated to supporting children in need across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico, has appointed Andre Greco, co-founder and vice president of Xcelerate Sales, to its board of directors. With over three decades of experience in the electronic security industry and a strong background in community service, Mission 500 said Greco will play an instrumental role in advancing the organization’s mission.

“It is truly an honor for me to be appointed to the Mission 500 Board,” said Greco. “I’ve long been passionate about the organization’s work and am eager to deepen my involvement in making a difference in the lives of children and families. I will work diligently to propagate our message and vision inside the security industry as well as to communities at large.”

Greco’s career within the electronic security industry has spanned 34 years, during which he has held numerous leadership positions at organizations including Milestone Systems, Hikvision, and Panasonic. As the current vice president of Xcelerate Sales, Greco focuses on helping organizations create effective lead generation programs, optimize sales processes, and enhance the performance of sales teams.

According to the announcement, Greco has been a dedicated volunteer, particularly in his community of Enfield, Connecticut. He has coached youth sports for eight years, served on the board of directors for Enfield Little League, and played a pivotal role in creating the Challenger Division — a league for children with special needs.

“Andre’s dedication to community service, combined with his professional achievements, makes him a natural fit for Mission 500’s board,” said Tracy Larson, president of WeSuite and co-chair of Mission 500. “We look forward to working alongside him to further amplify the impact of our programs.”
