Hikvision continues to pull talent from other manufacturers, this time from Milestone.
Michael Brown is now Hikvision's Director of Business Development - Education. This hire is not surprising, given Hikvision's move to get into more large and enterprise-level systems.
The education market is often budget-minded, and less likely to be concerned by Hikvision's Chinese government ties, giving them high potential here. Education also tends to be a high-touch sale, if Hikvision gives Brown sufficient resources to go after this market they may take a large part of it.
