IDV Solutions, the leading provider of visual mashup software, today announced the expansion of its team with the appointment of Nathan Banks as Director of Business Development, and the opening of a new Seattle, Washington office.

The new leadership hire reflects IDV’s positioning to meet growing demand in the security sector for its products and services. Mr. Banks will be based out of the new IDV Solutions Seattle office, in close proximity to customers such as Microsoft.

"Nathan is the perfect fit to accelerate the growth of Visual Fusion and our other products in the security space," explained Mark Morrison, CEO of IDV Solutions. "His success, experience and relationships in the industry give us strong confidence to reach our growth potential in this arena."

Banks' experience managing and consulting on physical and operational security for some of the biggest companies in the world will be invaluable to IDV Solutions in the months to come, as more customers inquire about the unique capabilities of Visual Fusion to give them situational awareness and a common operating picture.

"Having been in the security industry for over 10 years and most recently with Microsoft Global Security, I can say that Visual Fusion is a clear game changer for security organizations across the board," commented Mr. Banks. "Creating true situational awareness throughout an organization empowers people to make critical decisions. IDV Solutions has the product that solves this common problem better than any other I’ve seen. Because of this, I wanted to join IDV and be part of something special."

In addition to having worked in anti-terrorism and physical security capacities, Banks holds an MBA, is PMP certified, and holds several security certifications.
