    In a security landscape rife with mergers and acquisitions, Genetec's independence is an increasingly uncommon feat. Committed to the company's mission and continued success, Pierre has a wealth of knowledge to share about maintaining organizational independence, the accountability chain for data breaches and other security crises, and navigating economic shifts—knowledge that will come in handy as the Canadian company plans for an incoming wave of tariffs.

    Pierre, who broke ground with Genetec in 1997, founded the company with the belief that technology could break down barriers and improve the day-to-day lives of its users. His vision gave rise to a security powerhouse 2,000 strong with over 42,500 clients globally. Today, Genetec develops networked physical security, operational efficiency, and data analytics technologies.
