They join Steven Walin, CEO, and Joseph Restivo COO/CFO, on the board. 

 

“We are very pleased to welcome Lloyd, Ken, Rena, and David to the board,” Walin said. “The wealth of experience they bring to the table in building and running highly successful businesses through acquisitions and organic growth will provide invaluable guidance as we move forward to aggressively expand our presence in the security industry.”

 

Trotter became managing partner of GenNx360 Capital Partners after a nearly 40-year career with General Electric that was capped with his being appointed a vice chairman of the company in August 2006. He was a founding member of GE's African-American Forum and is actively involved in professional and community organizations. He has served on the boards of the National Association of Manufacturers, the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, and the GE Foundation.

She has served as the director and chief operating officer for Harvard Business School’s MBA program, with responsibility for admissions, financial aid and all student services. She also volunteers with a number of non-profit organizations and was recently honored by Johnson Publishing Company for excellence in the community.

“Video security surveillance is increasingly becoming the nexus of modern security systems, providing a core structure around which a host of security technologies, including access control and other complementary technologies, can be grouped to create a fully integrated security solution,” Walin said. “As we move forward to build a fully integrated security business, our new board members’ knowledge and experience will help us focus on the most promising acquisitions and growth opportunities,” he added.
