I would say that one does not hire someone like this to manage startup-style growth. You hire someone like this to prepare a company for acquisition.

Undisclosed Integrator #2
I would caution Feenics in a hire like this. Especially since Hebert was 12 years with the same large company. Feenics is in an earlier stage of market adoption and requires market creation and development.... a long way from the HID mature market model. In fairness HID did help create the market many many years ago, so perhaps Hebert was a driving part of that. I also don't know Hebert personally and cannot comment if he has the energy, curiosity, and learning style to adapt quickly (which is essential in a start-up) to market responses. If I had to bet I would say this proves to be a mis-match for both Hebert and Feenics.

Undisclosed Integrator #4
I had a national customer interested in a hosted access control solution, so I reached out to Feenics to see about getting access to the product. They told me that they have an exclusive agreement in Florida with an integrator out of Miami and that if I was interested I could purchase the product through them or wait a year until that agreement is renegotiated.
Limiting access to their product via one integrator in a state that is located 4 hours away from me does not seem like a smart business move. I did not even take this option to my customer, as the access to product and ability to service software and equipment promptly is always a concern of our customers.
