Miami-based high-end surveillance company ramps up executive team in 2013

Miami, FL – April 8, 2013 – Aware Digital, Inc., a leading surveillance technology company based in Miami, today announced the appointment of two new additions to their executive team. The company has strengthened its core management team by naming Mark Modica, Managing Director of Clout Ventures as their Chief Commercial Officer and Jay Taub their new VP of Engineering. Both parties bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise with them and will be fundamental in the expansion of Aware Digital’s new surveillance product lines.

The decision to expand their leadership team came from the company’s CEO, Joshua Mann.  Mann’s vision for Aware Digital involves transitioning from a high-end services only company to a provider of specialized surveillance products and solutions. In order to successfully implement this vision, he looked for a surveillance industry veteran with the right mix of industry and financial experience.  Mr. Modica fits this role perfectly.

 Modica is a veteran financial executive with broad company lifecycle experience at both start-up and mature technology companies. In his role at Aware Digital, Modica will be instrumental in building a strong financial foundation for Aware Digital in the rollout of their new surveillance product lines.  In addition, he will be involved in management, business development and sales.  Prior to starting Clout Ventures, Modica held the positions of Chief Commercial Officer and VP of Business Development for video surveillance at Pivot3® Inc., a leading supplier of IP SANs to the video surveillance market.

 Aware Digital also expanded their engineering team and appointed Jay Taub as their new VP of Engineering.  In this role, Mr. Taub will lead Aware Digital’s various product development teams to bring high-end polished products to market. Taub brings 20 years of design, implementation and management of large-scale global solutions in the IT and Telecom industries.  He also specializes in global communications for maritime VSAT applications.

Aware Digital has built a name in the security industry over the years as a high-end service and solution provider that offers complex deployment and design to customers in the area in the municipal government, law enforcement and gaming industries.  “We are now looking to provide our clients with not only high-end services and solutions….. but specialized high-end hardware and have engaged Clout Ventures for strategic management, sales and advisory services in conjunction with the rollout of our new product lines into the surveillance market, states Josh Mann, Aware Digital’s CEO.  We are excited to have Modica and Taub on board and utilize their skills to better serve our clients and grow our business to include digital, wireless, and communication/networking product lines.”
