DALLAS (June 19, 2009) – U.S. home security company leader Monitronics this week announced its appointment of lifetime security sales professional Glen Guldbeck as its West Coast Regional Sales Manager. Guldbeck, who has focused on security alarm sales for more than two decades, will be based in California, and his region will cover Arizona and Nevada as well.

Monitronics management cited Guldbeck's experience and his leadership within the California Alarm Association, among other industry affiliations, in making the appointment.

"Glen has devoted his career to the security-alarm industry, both expanding the market for monitored alarm services and providing significant leadership," said Steve Baker, Vice President of Sales and Dealer Development. "His proven, customer-driven approach to sales makes him a terrific fit for Monitronics. Now, with Glen on-board, Monitronics West Coast dealers will definitely benefit from his experience and tenure in the industry."

Guldbeck joins Monitronics after a three-year stint with third-party, wholesale services provider Criticom Monitoring Services (CMS), where he signed more than 60 new dealers and generated more than 14,000 new commercial and residential accounts.

"Everyone in the industry knows Monitronics is the company to watch," Guldbeck said. "I'm thrilled to be joining forces with a company that puts its dealers and its customers front and center. I look forward to working alongside our West Coast team to blow through our sales goals and put some spectacular numbers on the board."
