Avigilon Key Executive Keith Marett Gone

By John Honovich, Published Nov 20, 2013, 12:00am EST (Info+)

Gone. The self proclaimed [link no longer available] "principal designer of Avigilon’s global expansion and industry ownership" is out and looking for a new job [link no longer available].

Can Avigilon survive? Is this the error that crashes their hypergrowth or does this correct Avigilon's most glaring weakness?

Didn't the head of Engineering at Avigilon leave a couple months ago as well?

That was the Director of Software Engineering in July.

As have the Product Manager, Head of Customer Support, founding CFO and many more. Also, the origional V.P. of Sales and Marketing that crafted Avigilon's business plan that set them on this course was Dave Tynan. He aslo disappeared under mysterious circumstances some 2.5 years ago after building the engine that powered their explosive growth.

Dear john in the race between IP vs ANALOGUE cameras and surveillance systems , who is winning ? Has IP sales % market share gone up? Is analogue losing ground?

How is this related to Avigilon executive turnover?

In terms of IP vs analog market share see: The Crazy IP Tipping Point Has Returned and The China Surveillance Skew

Also, Avigilon's main PR contact is now gone as well.
