Reorganization invigorates the Company for continued profitable growth

VANCOUVER, Sept. 2, 2015 /CNW/ - Avigilon Corporation ("Avigilon" or the "Company") (TSX:AVO), a leading global provider of end-to-end security solutions, today announced a reorganization of its senior management team to streamline its reporting structure and increase operational efficiency.

Avigilon's seven major departments, being product development, sales, marketing, operations, finance, legal, and human resources, will now report directly to Alexander Fernandes, Avigilon's Founder, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board. This refreshed structure brings Mr. Fernandes closer to Avigilon's day-to-day operations while empowering department leaders with greater authority.

In connection with the reorganization, Bryan Schmode has resigned as Avigilon's Chief Operating Officer; Bryan will provide consulting services to the Company to ensure business continuity over the next year. Collis Heath, Avigilon's former Senior Vice President of Global Operations, has also left the Company.

"Avigilon has experienced tremendous growth in its business and employee base," said Mr. Schmode. "I'm extremely proud of Avigilon's achievements and ongoing success."

"I wish to thank Bryan for his contributions to Avigilon, which have greatly added to our success," said Mr. Fernandes. "This reorganization is the culmination of recent management changes designed to foster a nimble and dynamic culture. Avigilon outpaces its competitors, and our refreshed leadership structure supports this fast pace by facilitating efficient decision-making and innovation."
