LAKE FOREST, Calif. — Security industry veteran Mike Taylor was recently appointed vice president of U.S. sales for Netwatch Group, which is comprised of three market leaders including NMC, CalAtlantic and Netwatch.
Taylor’s appointment strengthens the company’s continued commitment to its security dealers and customers and allows the company to transition to a unified Netwatch Group presence in the U.S. market, according to an announcement. Taylor will also aid in further defining key strategies regarding customer acquisition and in meeting the rising demand for remote video monitoring solutions.
“Mike is a recognized sales leader in the U.S. security industry and has a tremendous record of success,” says David Walsh, CEO, Netwatch Group. “He has the right combination skills and experience to lead us through this period of exponential growth and we are pleased to have him on the team.”
Taylor began his career with ADT Security Services where he delivered significant revenue growth in both residential and commercial markets. He moved on to achieve year-on-year growth and exceed sales targets in senior leadership roles with AMAG Technology, NetVersant Solutions and Brivo Systems, according to the announcement.
Most recently Taylor served as North American sales director for Milestone Systems where he led a sales team of 30 to achieve more than 25% revenue growth in 2017, moving Milestone to be the No. 2 video management solution provider in the U.S.
“Mike is a dynamic leader who takes a hands-on approach and has a track record of driving and executing measurable results,” says Woodie Andrawos, president, NMC. “He will be working closely with myself and Sharon Elder, Vice President, Sales NMC, to offer additional support in growing the dealer channel.”
Taylor says he is excited to lead the tactical efforts of the group.
“With remote video monitoring experiencing exponential growth, the timing is right to unify sales development. I’m excited to be joining this forward-thinking group of innovators and help lead the pathway to even greater success,” Taylor comments.
Netwatch Group was formed in April following the merging of four market-leading monitoring companies with the backing of private equity firm The Riverside Co.
