Security Systems News welcomes 'Emerging Leaders Under 40' Class of 2024

YARMOUTH, Maine—Security Systems News (SSN) is excited to announce our inaugural 'Emerging Leaders Under 40” Class of 2024, highlighting those security professionals who have already made an indelible mark on the companies they work for.

Previously known as the “40 under 40” awards, this rebranded annual awards program features leaders who have proven themselves to be self-motivated, team-oriented creative thinkers who have shown leadership competencies by engaging in the vision of their organization and making that vision meaningful for their colleagues.

Our 12 award winners are made up of diverse and talented young professionals featuring a mix of security systems integrators, consultants, dealers, and monitoring professionals, as well as end users and other industry professionals. 

“This stellar group of young professionals who make up our ‘Emerging Leaders under 40’ Class of 2024 was very difficult to narrow down, especially with the number of high-quality nominations we received, both from those who nominated themselves and those selected by their colleagues,” said SSN Editor Cory Harris. “The tremendous leadership skills exemplified by our Class of 2024 demonstrates that the future of the security industry is in very capable hands.”

This year’s class of emerging leaders features security professionals with expertise in sales, marketing, learning and development, program management, and customer relations in the physical security and cybersecurity space, combining technical background and education with their business savvy and excellent leadership qualities.

“We look forward to hearing their stories when we spotlight the Class of 2024 in our special digital yearbook this spring,” Harris noted.
