🦉 Smarter queuing is here! In the latest Watchful release, we’ve launched the most intelligent queuing system in the industry -- powered by Quill. Quill now dynamically prioritizes alarms based on threat context, ensuring that high-risk events like potential intruders are escalated, while nuisance alarms and low-level activity sit below escalated events. It’s faster, smarter, and built to keep your sites safer. Get your demo and level up your security: https://watchful.co.nz

My first ISC in the books. It was a week defined not just by high-value conversations with existing and future customers, but also of quality time with co-workers from Auckland whom I miss dearly. Next years booth is already reserved- see you there!

Enterprise Sales Partner at Watchful | Enhancing Surveillance Capabilities | Automating Monitoring
Was great to step outside of the comfort zone last week and speak at Icehouse Ventures Careers of the future Auckland panel discussion. Working for a startup is uniquely challenging. It means being a generalist, embracing constant change, and accelerating growth in ways you never expect. One day you're deep in product and sales strategy, the next you're representing your company publicly and sharing insights with industry leaders. Some fantastic insights exchanged from Cassie McAdams, Sophie Pinto-Raetz, Jessica Venning-Bryan, and Sean Simpson. See you all next time!

Last night was awesome! We (Humankind) were stoked to partner with Icehouse Ventures on Careers of the Future - which had so much value for every person in the room! A huge thank you to the incredible panelists—founders and operators powering some of New Zealand’s most exciting tech startups: ✨ Cassie McAdams (Ideally ✨ Sean Simpson (Ternary, LanzaTech) ✨ Jessica Venning-Bryan (Prospero) ✨ Sophie Pinto-Raetz (Vessev) ✨ Charlie Anderson (Watchful) And, of course, to our fantastic host, Steph Benseman ! The conversation was packed with insights on leadership, resilience, and the mindset shifts needed to thrive in fast-changing / Startup environments. A few standouts for me: 🔥 “Make yourself redundant in the role you’re in.” – Sean 🔥 “You need a compass, not a map—because the terrain will change.” - Sophie 🔥 “Everyone’s figuring it out—be honest about that.” – Cassie McAdams 🔥 “Don’t chase titles, chase hard problems.” – Sophie 🔥 ‘Learn that you don’t have to be right’ - Jess 🔥 ‘Work your ass off.” – Charlie 🙋🏼♀️ My favourite quote of the night came from Sean Simpson - and it was around the power of diversity and being challenged on ideas to get to the right decision - Sean said ‘don’t just agree…. agreeing is so easy, so lazy and so dumb’ 😆 Loved it! A powerful reminder that curiosity, adaptability, and resilience are the muscles we must flex to be successful! Massive thanks to Icehouse Ventures for your partnership and for bringing together such an inspiring group! #CareersOfTheFuture #Leadership #Startups
