LVT accelerates growth with three new C-Suite executives as it expands AI-powered security solutions. The company, now valued over $1B, strengthens product, legal, and financial leadership to scale enterprise operations.
American Fork, Utah – December 11, 2025
LVT has spent the past 18 months rebuilding its executive bench as the company shifts from a hardware-centric security provider to a data-intelligence and agentic-AI platform. Today, the American Fork–based company announced three more senior hires—capping a period of rapid scale, major product advances, and one of the strongest growth streaks in Utah tech.
The company has named George Bentinck as Chief Product Officer, Arvind Bobra as Chief Financial Officer, and Mike Johnson as Chief Legal Officer.
Bentinck joins from Cisco Meraki, where he led IoT and edge-intelligence product teams. He will own LVT’s product roadmap as the company doubles down on proprietary AI models that power its mobile security units.
"When I looked at LVT, I saw many similarities to that of Meraki, said George Bentinck.
"Great products delivering great customer outcomes, and doing so in a way that is quick and easy to achieve. LVT has an enviable reputation in the physical security industry, and I look forward to building on this and growing our capabilities in other areas. The new wave of transformational AI technologies already deployed at LVT will enable us to deliver on the vision of actionable intelligence for site management, no matter the use case."
Bobra, previously CFO at Lessen and a senior finance leader at Axon, will oversee the financial side of LVT’s expansion. “LVT’s competence and culture have impressed me already," he said. "I am honored to join a team that has turned a bootstrapped startup into one of the largest and fastest-growing companies in Utah. LVT attracts best-in-class talent, who are motivated to serve customers and sell into a market with growing demand. I see tremendous opportunity to build upon this strong foundation, continuing to create value for customers and the company.”
Johnson, whose background includes senior legal roles at DigiCert, Splunk, and Amazon, will guide the company’s regulatory, compliance, and AI-ethics frameworks—an increasingly central issue as LVT pushes further into automated deterrence and real-time site intelligence.
“I am excited to join LVT at this significant moment for both the company and the site intelligence industry," said Johnson. "LVT has proven itself as an industry leader, delivering tangible value for customers and their stakeholders today while remaining at the forefront of innovation for the future.”
These additions follow a steady build-out of LVT’s leadership team. In February, LVT added Will Clive (HR), Ryan Gurney (Information Security), Spencer Steed (Revenue), and Taylor Wetzel (Customer). In September, the company appointed former Qualtrics president Chris Beckstead as its first-ever president—signaling a shift toward enterprise-scale operations.
The company has grown from roughly 100 employees in 2020 to more than 700 today. It reports that company revenue has increased 483% from 2021 to 2024, and that the company has surpassed a $1 billion valuation last year. LVT says it now serves 94% of Fortune 100 retailers, alongside customers in government, education, construction, and critical infrastructure.
LVT provides customizable mobile security units (MSUs) that have driven measurable safety improvements and security operation efficiencies across retail, government, construction, education, and other industries. LVT products are made in the USA with domestic and foreign parts. In 2025, the company rolled out extenstive AI capabilities to its MSUs, including an agentic AI “talk-down” system that issues personalized, context-aware audio warnings; a dynamic pan/tilt spotlight that automatically tracks detection events; an AI-driven forensic search tool; and expanded lighting and deterrence controls. These features build on SafeNow, the mobile-first system unveiled earlier this year that lets customer employees access unit capabilities directly from their phones.
Taken together, the company’s expanding leadership team and accelerating product roadmap point to an inflection point. LVT is now pushing to set the standard for how AI is deployed ethically in physical environments—moving beyond reactive surveillance toward proactive, prevention-focused intelligence.
CEO and co-founder Ryan Porter will work closely with the new executives and recently appointed president Chris Beckstead, as LVT scales into its third decade of operations.
“George, Arvind, and Mike have each achieved incredible success in their past roles, and they bring diverse perspectives that will propel LVT into the next generation," said Porter. "The entire company is thrilled to bring them on board and capitalize on every opportunity we have as we expand LVT’s offerings.”
