Avigilon, a video surveillance and end-to-end security solution provider, today announced two resignations and a management reorganization.
Bryan Schmode has resigned from his role as COO, and Collis Heath, SVP of Global Operations, has also left the company.
There have been a number of changes in Avigilon's management ranks over the past few months. In August, Pedro Simoes, SVP of global sales, resigned and was replaced by James Hendershot. In May, Danny Cam, VP of Engineering left and was replaced by CTO and SVP Mahesh Saptharishi.
There have been several management changes in the past few years as well. The company announced today plans to streamline its senior management reporting structure “to increase operational efficiency.”
Avigilon's seven major departments—product development, sales, marketing, operations, finance, legal, and human resources—will now report directly to Alexander Fernandes, Avigilon's founder, president, CEO, and Chairman of the Board.
“This refreshed structure brings Mr. Fernandes closer to Avigilon's day-to-day operations while empowering department leaders with greater authority,” the company said in the announcement.
Avigilon has been one of the fastest growing security companies. Its stock, which trades on the Toronto Exchange, closed at $12.37 on Sept. 2. Its 52-week high is $25.62. Its low is $12.34.
