Jeff Wood
VP of Sales North America
Wavestore

Throughout my career, I’ve been driven by a desire to find security solutions that don’t just secure environments but also transform operations. My experience at SALTO Systems was foundational: as National Manager, I worked on complex OEM and integration partnerships across North America. This role gave me a real appreciation for how critical seamless integration is, particularly for large-scale projects that require interoperability between various security systems. During my time at SALTO, I encountered Wavestore as a technical integration partner and was struck by the flexibility and stability of its platform. I saw firsthand how Wavestore’s open architecture and integration capability allowed us to deliver powerful access control solutions that could scale to meet the needs of our clients. That encounter stayed with me, and it’s part of why I’m here today.

Kevin Baldwin
Head of Marketing  
Wavestore

I joined Wavestore in March 2023, bringing with me 15 years of experience in business growth and improvement consulting across various sectors, including precision manufacturing, telecoms, fleet management, publishing, private equity, government, and educational institutions. While I am a relative newcomer to the world of security, I find the Wavestore business genuinely fascinating as it goes beyond security and surveillance. With Sam Shalaby's acquisition of the business, it's an exciting place to be.

Wavestore, founded in 2000, has always been at the forefront of introducing cutting-edge technology – in many ways we are the industry’s best kept secret. In 2006, we were among the first to develop hybrid analogue and IP VMS solutions. Our journey continued with the release of Version 5 in 2011, which featured a trend-setting user interface, instant search capabilities, and 360-degree fisheye dewarping. This version also marked our first venture into the Americas.
