To lead the new Technology Partner area, Milestone Systems is promoting Keven Marier to vice president of Technology Partners. “With sixteen years of experience in technology business development leadership roles, Marier has a deep technical understanding and business partnering experience to accelerate and scale the co-creation of innovative solutions for Milestone Systems,” says chief technology officer, Bjørn Skou Eilertsen. “The global video technology partner landscape has an immense innovation capacity that no single company can compete with.”

Milestone’s Technology Partner area will be focused on how to identify, partner, develop and manage this co-created innovation capacity to create the greatest value for Milestone Systems’ community partners and end customers.

It is an essential part of Milestone Systems’ strategy that technology partners grow with Milestone Systems. The co-creation of a thriving and diverse community based upon open platforms provides end customers with the power of choice, and partners with the largest addressable market.

Marier has been with Milestone Systems for ten years, most recently as Milestone’s director of technology business development where he was responsible for the technology business development functions within Milestone’s Technology Group. He also serves as Milestone Systems’ vice president and a member of the board of directors for the Open Security and Safety Alliance. For the past sixteen years, Keven has been delivering technology business development initiatives within the security industry with extensive experience in market intelligence, technology consulting, business strategy, corporate development, technology acquisitions, product management, and platform architectures.
