Open Options Appoints Steve Wagner as President

Steve Wagner
January 14, 2019

Open Options, which was acquired by ACRE LLC on Dec. 17, 2018, appointed Steve Wagner as the company’s new President. 


Steve began his career in the industry in 1986 as VP of sales and marketing for Checkpoint Systems. He moved on to become the COO with HID Global for eight years. In 2009, Steve became the president of Mercury Security and successfully grew that business which was eventually sold to HID Global/Assa Abloy. 


“Open Options has worked with Steve for a number of years at both HID and Mercury,” said Steve Fisher, Open Options founder and CEO. “Steve is a well-respected professional and Open Options will benefit from his long and distinguished career in this industry. We look forward to having Steve join us as we continue our growth path and as a new member of the ACRE family.”
