Welcome PSA/USAV CEO Matt Barnette

Welcome to 2021! Three words I’ve been waiting to say for the past nine months. In contrast to the challenges all our companies have overcome in 2020, I am encouraged by the opportunities this year provides with normalcy just ahead. During the past year, USAV has held numerous events including townhalls, Adapt and virtual mixers that provided us with timely strategies and information. While the first part of 2021 will continue to be difficult, USAV remains committed to supporting our members. Our core focus continues to concentrate on best practices to sustain and grow as our community returns to their workplaces.

I am very excited to welcome PSA/USAV’s new CEO, Matt Barnette. Matt was most recently Vice President of Physical Access Control Solutions in the North America Business Unit at HID after the acquisition of Mercury Security where he was hired as President in June 2016. Prior to that, Matt was President of AMAG Technology – a G4S Company – and spent 12 years working in various roles within the global organization.

During this hiring process, I’ve had the great pleasure of getting to know Matt and have had the opportunity to learn Matt’s reputation for work ethic, management experience and commitment to USAV. Earlier this week, Matt and I had a Zoom call where he expressed his desire to learn our industry and roll-up his sleeves to see how he could start having a positive impact on our members and providers. I couldn’t be more encouraged for 2021 with Matt taking the reins.

Bill Bozeman will be supporting Matt with this transition through the beginning of 2021. I have no doubt Matt will continue to find support from Chris, Patrick and each of you as we continue to shape this organization to best support our dealers and providers. This organization continues to grow and be more relevant.

I truly hope this finds you and your family healthy and safe. All who are currently affected by this virus and situation are in our thoughts and prayers. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns.

-Brent Berger
