Avigilon CEO to retire after Motorola acquisition

Avigilon Corporation is making changes to its executive team in connection with the recent agreement to be acquired by Motorola Solutions, Inc.
Upon completion of the acquisition by Motorola Solutions, Alexander Fernandes will retire as Avigilon’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board.

“I’m very proud of what we’ve accomplished at Avigilon, growing from a start-up to become an industry leader,” said Mr. Fernandes. “Avigilon has a strong and proven leadership team, and I’m confident about the company’s future.”

In contemplation of the acquisition, Ric Leong has resigned as Avigilon’s Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately. Samuel Cochrane, Avigilon’s Senior Vice President of Finance, has been promoted to Chief Financial Officer and will stay on with Avigilon after closing.

“Being Avigilon’s CFO has been a tremendous experience, and I’ve greatly enjoyed working with Alex and the leadership team over the past several years,” said Mr. Leong. “I’m in full support of the acquisition and look forward to Avigilon’s success with Motorola Solutions.”

Wavestore appoints veteran sales director for EMEA growth

Wavestore, the British developer of innovative open-platform and highly secure Linux-based video management software (VMS), has appointed Simon Shawley as its new Sales Director to oversee the company’s sales strategy and drive growth across EMEA.
Simon has over 25 years’ experience in the electronic security market having previously held senior sales and business development positions for companies including Hanwha Techwin and Dvtel.

“It’s great to join the Wavestore team at such an exciting juncture,” said Simon. “Organisations are increasingly utilising VMS to maximise their investment in electronic security and Wavestore’s ability to bring together third-party devices and sub-systems such as cameras, intruder detection, access control and video analytics from the world’s leading brands onto a common, future-proof and easy to operate platform, delivers clear benefits from both a technology and total cost of ownership standpoint.”
