Darren Seed was really good at communications. I recommend him highly.
We've interacted with lots of communications / PR / marketing people over the years and he compared quite favorably.
Some comparative observations that might be of interest to business readers here:
I do not know all the details going on with Avigilon here but it seems strange.

I agree with all your points John. I've dealt with dozens (hundreds?) of Communications/IR people and while he could brush up on his financial knowledge, Darren's relationship building was very good and I would recommend him to any Vancouver company looking to hire for that role. I think he played a part in helping some investors turn the page on past indiscretions by Avigilon and how the company deployed their cash. I can tell he has had an affect on how IPVM wrote about Avigilon.
Outside of this firing, Avigilon looks like they are finally making the right moves with products, people and profitability. They are just stuck in a tough place given they can't compete with Hik in the low-end and lack the name recognition of a Sony, Panasonic, Bosch, etc.
When they do end up being sold, I know nobody will be ecstatic. Not Alex, the employees, customers, investors or the buyers.
