Morgan Hertel has been named vice president of operations at Rapid Response Monitoring.
That information, courtesy of a new posting on his LinkedIn profile, greeted me today as I packed up my laptop and headed out the door to ISC West. It marks a quick turnaround for Hertel, who just two weeks ago stepped down as vice president and general manager for Mace CS.In a March 12 news release from Mace Security International, the company said Hertel's departure was “for personal reasons” and that he would be “working closely with Mace CS in a consulting role over the next several months.” Hertel took over as director of operations at the company's wholesale central station in Anaheim, Calif., shortly after the CSSS acquisition in 2009.
As for what lies ahead at Rapid, the 30-year industry veteran states on LinkedIn that he's working on “several high-level projects and initiatives. … At Rapid Response I have many resources, some of which include a complete software development team, a huge IT and technical staff and one of the most educated and talented operations and finance groups consisting of almost 400 staff members.”
Hertel will be a panelist at ISC West at an educational session titled “NFPA 72: Are You Ready for the Changes?” If I can't catch up with him before I get on the plane, hopefully I'll get a chance to do so at the show. It will be interesting to see how his expertise comes into play at Rapid.
