Pierre Trapanese is the immediate past chair of the Security Industry Association (SIA) Board of Directors.

He has been the CEO of Northland Controls since late 2005. He started with a team of just 10 people and with the adoption of the company’s strong core values.

Trapanese has more than 30 years of experience in complex security solutions whether applied to the real world of construction or to the virtual world of the cloud. He embarked on his career as a project engineer for JCI, progressed to a project manager at JWP, went back to school and was a struggling entrepreneur for 12 years prior to Northland.

Trapanese holds an MBA from Stanford University and a B.S. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley. His passions lie with furthering the missions of SIA, the Tugboat Institute and the African Wildlife Foundation.
