Last year Dr Mahesh Saptharishi, Avigilon’s chief technology officer (CTO), topped the rankings in a year that saw the Canadian company release the industry’s first – and still only – 7K video surveillance camera. The most influential person in the fire sector, meanwhile, was Jonathan O’Neill, managing director of the Fire Protection Association (FPA).
