Security company Genetec has appointed Dale Simons as Account Executive for Victoria and Tasmania.
Based in Melbourne, Simons will be responsible for managing customer accounts and working with regional partners in the two states to accelerate new business development and continue the relationships with the existing Genetec installed base.
Simons joins Genetec with 14 years of experience in the IT and physical security industries. He was previously business development manager at GSA Systems, where he was responsible for business expansion and identifying market opportunities.
Prior, Simons was an account manager at Hills Industries and business development manager at Central Security Distribution. He began his security industry career as an account manager at Q Security Systems.
“Dale Simons is a well-respected, experienced and trusted leader in the Australian physical security industry,” said Genetec’s National Sales Manager Will Glasson. “We’re looking forward to tapping into his skills to further support our strategy in working with partners throughout Victoria and Tasmania. Dale has a proven record of providing customers with solutions which unify access control, video management, intrusion monitoring, automation, and many other advanced security capabilities. He has also worked with the Genetec platform during his tenures at Hills Industries and GSA Systems.”
“I’m looking forward to building on its foundation of success in Victoria and Tasmania to further work with customers in their adoption of physical security technology and delivering value-based outcomes,” said Simons.
Recently, Genetec announced that Genetec Security Center SaaS will be hosted in Australia on the Microsoft Azure platform following strong demand for sovereign data hosting capability, robust cybersecurity, and flexible cloud options which affirmed the need to offer its security solution hosted on an Australian data centre.
In addition, last month the company announced it had been recognised as the world leader in video management software by two leading industry analysts, Omdia and Novaira Insights.
