Winsted Names Shawn Brady New VP of Product Development

MINNEAPOLIS– Winsted, a global designer of mission-critical control environments, HAS welcomed Shawn Brady as the company’s new Vice President of Product Development. Brady comes to Winsted with more than 15 years’ experience in control room engineering and design.

“What really makes a difference for me is improving people’s working experience in their control environments,” says Brady. “When we improve an operator’s ability to function, we’re improving their ability to serve their mission, to keep others safe, to prevent emergencies, and to manage situations that are often beyond the awareness of the general public.”

Before joining Winsted, Brady worked in engineering, design and project management with firms including Mauell, Diversified – Mission Critical Environments, Mitsubishi Electric, and Barco. His work history includes engineering technology systems, designing consoles, and consulting in control rooms in environments such as Utilities, Military, Transportation, and nuclear power facilities. These experiences are shaping his approach to his new role at Winsted.

“It’s a great responsibility, and it requires a holistic approach that goes beyond thinking of our products as furniture,” Brady saus. “After all, if our solutions don’t work properly, it could create a catastrophic disaster. Something as simple as losing an image, or a communication channel, could mean that people die. So, there’s a seriousness to this work that drives me.”

Brady is also looking ahead and envisioning what comes next for the company.

“Winsted has a working knowledge of mission-critical technology that is rare even among control-room furniture manufacturers,” he said. “It sets us apart from other companies and gives us an advantage as we develop new products and anticipate new technologies coming a year or five years from now. Imagining the possibilities now means we’ll be prepared to integrate them into the picture for our customers down the road.”

Brady, who lives with his wife, three children, and two dogs in central Pennsylvania, joined the Winsted team in October. When he’s not at work, Brady enjoys riding motorcycles, hiking, and camping with his family.

Minnesota AG Calls for Cancellation of Home Security Contracts for Alleged Fraud

STEARNS COUNTY, Minn. — Bring Me the News reports that Minnesota’s Attorney General, Keith Ellison, says he’s gotten consumers in Stearns County out of home security contracts after they were misled by a door-to-door salesman. According to the report, Ellison’s office announced that home security companies Skyline Security Management and Safe Home Security have agreed to their cancel contracts with customers in and around Stearns County who purchased their systems from door-to-door salesman Gary Harvey. “Door-to-door salesmen and their employers are in the business of trust-building,” Ellison said in a statement. “They know they need to have your trust to sell you their products, particularly expensive products like security systems that are supposed to keep your home safe. When that trust is betrayed, it’s emotionally and financially painful. I appreciate Skyline and Safe Home taking the right step in canceling these contracts while my office does what we can under the law to hold M
