TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
In today's fast paced, high tech business environment it takes exemplary
leadership and vision to bring consistent success to an organization. Salim
Idris is such a leader and a visionary. In my 30 plus years in the high tech
industry in various management positions I have come across very few
individuals with the right blend of marketing, sales and engineering talents.
Salim is one of those individuals. His abilities in product marketing and
solution selling are a rare mix of art and science. He has the natural gift to
analyze and present most important benefits of a product or service to make
them highly desirable.
Salim's enthusiasm, energy and relentless pursuit to achieve the very best
have produced many successful product introductions and marketing
initiatives. I had the opportunity to work with Salim in creating an entire
CCTV line to get Ademco Security Group into that business. This line has
grown to over $25.0 Million in less than three years. Salim’s contribution
toward the success of this program could be seen at every level. Due to this
success he was asked to focus on the International Systems Sales where his
achievements are equally outstanding.
It has been my privilege to work with Salim over the past 5 years. I am
preparing to retire from the Ademco Group shortly, however I hope we have
a chance to work together again in the future to reach new milestones.
Sincerely,
Ron Levy
Senior Vice President Sales
Ademco Security Group
