    February 14, 2022 WILLOW GROVE, PA -- Pennsylvania-based startup Emergence Technologies, LLC, creator of a disruptive voice-recognition technology that will transform personal and public safety, has announced that it has retained Paul Goldenberg and Michael Gips of Cardinal Point Strategies (CPS) as senior advisors. Goldenberg and Gips will counsel Emergence on product development, marketing, channel sales, and positioning in markets including law enforcement, local government, security, education, and lodging.

    Emergence has innovated a patent-pending voice recognition technology that enables discreet real-time response to emergencies, such as sexual assaults, robberies, burglaries, medical crises, fires and other natural disasters with precision accuracy. The stealth characteristics of the system make it undetectable by any assailant or criminal. The product, which will be available standalone or integrated with other hardware and software, will offer a far superior level of personal protection than currently available. The technology avoids privacy issues because no data is stored in the cloud.

We are confident that they can provide our leadership team with the counsel needed to better protect homes, schools, houses of worship, and colleges, hotels, retail stores, and other facilities with no added inconvenience.”

    Goldenberg is the Chairman and President of CPS. He has an extensive background in advising startups and growth-stage companies in the law enforcement and security space. Goldenberg served as a member of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Advisory Council and co-chair of the DHS Foreign Fighter Task Force among many other senior assignments. An ex-undercover agent and police executive, Goldenberg received South Florida’s most distinguished citation for valor, Officer of the Year. Security magazine named him as the Most Influential Person in Homeland Security in 2020.
