ISS promotes Lefter, Padilla in North America

WOODBRIDGE, N.J. – Video intelligence solutions provider Intelligent Security Systems (ISS) has announced the internal promotions of two members of its North American branch.

Firstly, ISS welcomed Egor Lefter as a Senior Solutions Architect. Lefter joined the company in 2020 as a Sales Engineer and has since served as a Technical Sales Manager in Canada. He will be taking over his new position for North America where he’ll be responsible for strategically developing and planning solutions to different customer environments. Before his time at ISS Lefter spent five years as a Senior Field Engineer at Honeywell.

“We are happy to have a security and technology expert such as Egor on our team,” said Eugene Beytenbrod, Global Director of Engineering at ISS. “He has been a great asset to our Canada business over the last few years and I am excited about his growth in the company.”

“I joined ISS during the pandemic, which was a difficult time for the entire world, but from day one I was impressed by our company culture and the outstanding people around me,” ISS’s new Senior Solution Architect, Egor Lefter, said. “Working in such an environment drove me to go above and beyond when it comes to delivering on customer expectations. I’m excited about this new opportunity to apply my skills and experience on a larger scale and deliver our unique solutions to even more customer across North America.”

ISS’s other promotion is Natalia Padilla who is based in Latin America (LATAM) and joined the company in 2019 as the Americas Administrative Manager. She now moves to the newly created position of Head of Inside Sales where she’ll facilitate project quotes, software maintenance agreements (SMAs), new accounts, and order processing as well as hardware procurement and logistics.

“Natalia helped build the internal order processing and procurement processes for the company and I’m proud to enable our North American colleagues with experienced team members that will improve the customer experience,” said ISS Chief Operations Officer Daniel Mariño.

“Bringing lessons learned forward as organizations grow and evolve into new markets can be challenging,” Matt Powell, Managing Director of North America at ISS said, adding that Padilla’s organizational and industry experience will be invaluable as the company continues to build out its North American team. “Natalia’s experience in our organization on an international level, combined with her understanding of our North American partners and clients, will bolster our team as we continue to grow.”

“Being a part of ISS has been an exciting challenge. I have witnessed the company’s growth firsthand since I joined, and I am proud to be part of this amazing team,” said Padilla. “The plans for North America are ambitious and I am excited to contribute from what I have applied and learned in LATAM to the company’s overall growth and this team of rockstars.”

Both candidates’ promotions are effective immediately, with Lefter reporting to Beytenbrod and Padilla reporting to Powell.
