A 25-year security industry veteran with over 20 security patents under his name, Doug Marman drives VideoIQ’s advanced technological solutions and strategic product development as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Vice President of Products.
Prior to joining VideoIQ, Marman served as CTO for GE Security, Inc., where he focused on identifying critical technologies that will impact the security industry and architecting strategic plans for development, licensing and acquisitions. He researched all areas of the physical security space, including video surveillance, access control, intrusion sensors and systems, fire alarm detection, for applications from residential and commercial to Government and high risk applications.
Marman played key roles in growing the first security business he worked for – Sentrol. The company grew from $15M in 1984 when he started there to $2B 20 years later, during which time it changed its name from Sentrol to SLC Technologies, to Interlogix and eventually, after being acquired, to GE Security. His responsibilities included marketing management, business development and strategic corporate planning.
However, he spent most of his time scouring the security industry for the latest technology breakthroughs and mapping out how they will influence systems and practices. He was involved in over 20 acquisitions, providing technical assessments and post acquisition integration.
Marman also spent years with GE’s Global Research Center, contributing to a number of further inventions with them, and today enjoys working with some of the best PhDs and engineers in the security industry on truly breakthrough technologies.
