In his new position at ImmerVision, Messier will be responsible for directing sales, marketing and project management for the Video Surveillance Applications (VSA) Business Unit internationally.

The VSA Business Unit's mission is to promote the adoption of ImmerVision's IMV1-1/3 Panomorph lens into video surveillance and monitoring applications. The IMV1-1/3 Panomorph lens simply attaches to an existing standard analog or IP camera giving it 360-degree viewing capability, without blind spots and with greater visual detail than other panoramic lenses such as mirror and fisheye.

"I am pleased to join the ImmerVision team and look forward to working with its customers and partners to deliver new ImmerVision Enables applications in the CCTV market," said Mr. Messier. "My mandate is to leverage ImmerVision's unique 360-degree Panomorph technology and promote its adoption to all sectors of the Video Surveillance industry".

"Yves brings us extensive sales and marketing expertise in the security industry," said Alessandro Gasparini, chief commercial officer. "He has a proven track record of effectively selling and leading large scale projects related to security technology solutions. He has an unmatched understanding of the potential for ImmerVision's panoramic technology and his extensive experience in the video surveillance industry makes him an excellent fit for our company and this position."
