Versa Wireless has announced that Tim Rader has joined the company as Vice President of Products & Innovation.
Rader brings more than 40 years of security industry experience to the role. He most recently served as Vice President of Product Engineering at ADT, where he founded and led ADT’s Engineering Technology Center.
During his tenure he was named inventor on more than a dozen patents covering security control systems and device integration.
His career began at C&K Systems in 1985 and includes product development leadership at Brinks Home Security.
“Tim is one of the most trusted technical voices in the security industry,” said Justin Carlson, President of Versa Wireless.
“He has spent his career building the systems and standards that define how security products get approved and deployed at scale.
“His decision to join Versa – and to put his reputation behind what we are building – says everything about where this company is headed.”
Versa Wireless says Rader’s appointment comes at a pivotal moment for the company which is expanding its product lineup with a new generation of wireless security sensors.
“I have spent 40 years watching what works and what does not in this industry,” said Rader.
“Versa has built something real here – products that are engineered right, a team that understands what dealers actually need and a roadmap that genuinely excites me.
“I have ideas I am ready to bring to market, and a group of security veterans this talented to build them with. That combination does not come along often.”
As VP of Products & Innovation, Rader will lead Versa’s product development strategy, guide new products through certification at major security platforms and work directly with security dealers and distribution partners to expand the company’s market presence.
