Vio Security, a community-based security alarm monitoring company, has announced the appointment of 25-year security and sales veteran John P. Hudson as Chief Executive Officer, which was effective back on February 15, 2021.
According to the company, Hudson’s appointment is an important development in its expansion in the United States, which is made possible by operational expertise and capital from Arena Investors, LP, a major U.S. institutional private investment firm.
Vio Security‘s recalibrated focus in the expansion has increased its direct sales force leading to significant organic growth. Additionally, Vio has recently expanded its product options for smart home systems by adding simple, convenient services for customers to ensure protection for their homes. By building a platform that not only benefits our clients and will advance the industry, Vio has become a recognized leader in smart home and security services.
“I am thrilled to be joining the Vio team during an exciting time in the company’s evolution,” says Hudson.
“Vio’s entrepreneurial and forward-looking approach to home security uniquely positions the company as a leader. As the industry continues to evolve with consumer products like smart technology, I believe Vio is at the forefront both in terms of its offerings and excellent customer service. I am very much looking forward to being a part of it.” “We will be embarking on a growth trajectory that will entail accelerating our capacity for both sales, operations, ecosystem partnerships and M&A. I am confident Vio will become a destination workplace within our space through technology, world class customer service and our active participation in the communities we serve.”
Vio Security adds that throughout his career Hudson has been known for his track record of increasing recurring revenue and creating new subscriber models. He will join Vio from Johnson Controls, where he recently served as a transformation leader and vice president/general manager of North American Security, a $2 billion business unit. Prior to the merger of Johnson Controls and Tyco, Hudson also held executive positions at Tyco Integrated Security and ADT Security Services.
