Our co-founder and president, Chris Hughes, is taking on the role of chief executive officer and our founding CEO, David Maskeroni, is taking the lead on revenue-generating activities as our chief revenue officer. Under Dave’s leadership, Aquia has grown to nearly 60 employees and averaged a ~215% YoY growth.

It’s funny how we all get swept up in the year. As many CEO’s know, we spend most days questioning our leadership and the decisions we make. You will not always be liked by everyone and some days you question your own abilities however it’s those micro moments where you smile and know that people in your team value you for the person you are. I am very grateful for my team and those who have my back even if in some moments I don’t make decisions based on being liked but based on making the right decisions by my team and the business. Our sole vision is…… ❤️To build a Security company based on integrity and trust whilst being kind in all interactions with clients, colleagues and members of the public. ❤️ In these moments I know this is what my team does and I am the proudest CEO in the world 🌍 CYS Security #oneteam #security #onevision

They are on to something BIG.... Give a listen to hear what's --> NEXT <-- #security #survellance #securityindustry

How do you stay ahead when security threats are constantly evolving? The strongest defenses today aren’t built with walls—they’re built with adaptability and smart technology. In a changing world, businesses need solutions that grow with them, reducing complexity while staying ahead of emerging threats. Watch our CEO and SVP of Product discuss how organizations can create their own moat—security that protects and evolves. It’s time to rethink how we defend what matters most. https://hubs.li/Q02VbG800 #ViconSecurity #SmartSecurity #Innovation #Leadership #SecuritySolutions
