I’m excited to join the Gallagher team as the new Marketing Director,” said Melissa Vidakovic, adding “I’ve spent the last 18 years helping technology and software organisations bring their stories to life and deliver their solutions to market. While I’m new to the security industry, I have extensive marketing experience across a variety of industries and tech solutions and I’m eager to dive in and help Gallagher be known as the leader in security solutions.”

Melissa is based in Gallagher’s Canton, Georgia office and will be responsible for marketing direction throughout North, Central, and South America. She will be joining the Gallagher team at ISC West from March 29-31 and hopes everyone will stop by booth #18109 to say hello and learn more about the Gallagher brand.
