Kastle expands executive team to accelerate growth in managed physical security. July 13, 2026 Kastle has appointed five senior executives in the largest leadership expansion in its history, strengthening its executive team as the company seeks to expand its position in the managed physical security market and scale its cloud-based platform for enterprise customers and commercial real estate owners. The appointments follow several years of profitable growth and the company's 2024 acquisition of i2G Systems, adding leadership across operations, sales, technology, marketing and go-to-market strategy. Kastle, which says its platform protects more than 1 billion square feet of U.S. commercial real estate, is positioning itself to capitalize on increasing demand for integrated security systems that combine access control, surveillance, identity management and real-time intelligence. Chief Executive Officer Haniel Lynn said organizations increasingly view physical security as a business investment rather than a compliance function, particularly as companies compete to attract tenants and employees back to office buildings. The expansion comes as commercial property owners continue investing in workplace amenities and building technologies to differentiate Class A office properties. Kastle said its Back to Work Barometer continues to show stronger office utilization at premium buildings than across the broader office market, reinforcing the importance of workplace experience, safety and security in tenant retention strategies. The newly assembled leadership team is expected to support three strategic priorities: advancing the company's security platform, expanding managed services and accelerating enterprise growth. Matt Burke joins as chief operating officer after serving as a senior vice president at Johnson Controls, where he led a $5 billion business with approximately 14,000 employees. At Kastle, he will oversee operational execution, including pricing strategy, contract management and service delivery as the company scales its managed security platform. Neil Thomas, appointed chief revenue officer, brings experience from Motorola Solutions, where he served as a global enterprise corporate vice president. He will lead Kastle's sales strategy with a focus on expanding relationships with Fortune 500 customers, entering additional industry verticals and supporting long-term revenue growth. As chief information officer, Chad Pierce will oversee the company's internal technology strategy, including enterprise systems, data infrastructure, technology integrations and information security. Pierce previously served as chief information officer at WeWork, where he led enterprise technology transformation initiatives. Kastle also named Lindsay McLain as chief marketing officer. McLain previously held marketing leadership positions at Avigilon and Openpath and will focus on strengthening Kastle's market positioning and expanding awareness of its managed security platform and workplace intelligence capabilities. Completing the executive appointments, Steven Weingarth becomes vice president of go-to-market. A former marketing leader at Motorola Solutions and Openpath, Weingarth will oversee the company's marketing technology infrastructure, demand generation programs and digital growth strategy to support customer acquisition and sales execution. The expanded leadership team also includes Jason Slocum, president and CEO of i2G Systems, whose business joined Kastle through the 2024 acquisition. Slocum was recently recognized as an EY Entrepreneur of the Year(R) 2026 award winner for Michigan and Northwest Ohio. Founded in 1972, Kastle provides managed physical security services for more than 3,600 properties and 60,000 businesses across the United States and Australia. Its cloud-based platform integrates access control, video surveillance, visitor management, identity management and threat intelligence into a unified managed service designed for enterprise customers. The executive appointments reflect broader shifts in the physical security market, where commercial property owners and large organizations are increasingly replacing standalone security products with integrated platforms that connect physical security, IT infrastructure and workplace operations. As enterprises modernize office portfolios and prioritize building intelligence, providers capable of delivering managed, data-driven security services are competing for a larger share of technology spending across the commercial real estate sector.

Kastle, a managed physical security platform protecting over 1 billion square feet of US commercial real estate, has appointed five senior executives in its largest leadership expansion in over 20 years. The company aims to lead the consolidating market for integrated, intelligence-driven security platforms. The new appointments include Matt Burke as chief operating officer, Neil Thomas as chief revenue officer, Chad Pierce as chief information officer, Lindsay McLain as chief marketing officer, and Steven Weingarth as vice president of go-to-market. Each executive was selected to accelerate platform innovation, managed services expansion, and scaled growth. Kastle has delivered profitable growth for multiple consecutive years and expanded through its 2024 acquisition of i2G Systems. The company serves over 3,600 properties and 60,000 businesses across the United States and Australia.
