In addition to driving revenue growth across key markets, he will also be focused on developing strategic partnerships that elevate Calipsa’s market presence, and influencing the product roadmap based on trends and opportunities.

“Calipsa’s market-leading video False Alarm Filtering platform is now analyzing more than four-million video alarms daily and recently surpassed the milestone of one-billion alarms processed, with a 99.95% accuracy rate,” Baker said. “We are only at the beginning of the journey. The powerful team, product roadmap and strong investor backing have the formula for exponential growth and long-term success. I am both thrilled and honored to be joining Calipsa at such an important inflection point in its young history.”
