Open Options, a provider of open platform access control solutions, announced the appointment of Chris Gouge as the company’s new Southwest US Sales Manager.

Experience in physical security

Gouge joined the industry in 2007 with HMA Consulting, and now has a decade of experience in physical security consulting, manufacturing, and integrator sales. Gouge also holds a certification in Homeland Security.

“I’m excited to join such a great team,” said Gouge. “I’ve worked with Open Options on past projects and always admired the company culture, quality of relationships, and how DNA Fusion approaches access control.”

Enhancing partnerships with clients

The Texas native will focus on enhancing partnerships and clients Open Options has developed in the newly formed Southwest region, which includes Southern California, Nevada, and Arizona. This comes after the recent split of the West Coast territory, with Pacific Northwest Sales Manager Randy Vitovitz now overseeing sales in Northern California.
