Doug Dyment, CEO of Gatekeeper, commented: “I am delighted to welcome Valarie to her new role as VP of Sales. We are experiencing very solid sales growth in both the school and transit industry verticals, and I have strong confidence in Valarie’s ability to lead our growing sales team in the school industry segment. I’m equally excited about Jeff’s transition to a fully dedicated role in the transit industry segment. His account management expertise combined with the strength of our operation and engineering teams have showcased Gatekeeper’s ability to execute with large enterprise accounts. And with a growing sales funnel that includes potential alliances with partners who have global reach in the transit industry, the time was perfect to make this move. We recently concluded our first in-person sales team rally since the pandemic where we brought together our growing North American sales team. It was the largest and most energetic sales team rally our Company has ever had and we are all very optimistic about our potential for continued growth.”
