Charlie offered several factors that explained his rationale for joining Sightlogix. “I was immediately struck by the company’s passion for building products on a foundation of great detection and high performance. Securing outdoors has always been hard, but Sightlogix is really at the vanguard with a system that detects intruders at an impressively high level of reliability."

"There was also a long list of five-star customers," he continued, "who have the luxury to choose any security product but keep choosing Sightlogix, because they recognise performance as the ultimate criteria. Finally, I saw a customer-focused company that listens to their partners to solve real problems with systems that are adaptable, affordable, and easy to use. In my experience, that’s a rare combination and a winning strategy.”

“We are thrilled to welcome Charlie Platipodis to Sightlogix,” said John Romanowich, Sightlogix president and CEO. “Charlie’s vast experience implementing the processes and strategies for sales expansion will strengthen our existing critical infrastructure markets and accelerate our exposure among firms seeking to provide superior outdoor detection in the fast-growing remote video market.”
