Title: Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board
Company: ICU Technologies
Location: Grass Valley, California, United States
Brian Van Norman, co-founder and chairman of the board at ICU Technologies, has been recognized by Marquis Who’s Who Top Executives for dedication, achievements, and leadership in technology.
With two decades of experience to his credit, Mr. Van Norman has established a successful career in technology. He currently excels as the co-founder and chairman of the board at ICU Technologies. In this role, he is responsible for developing corporate vision and mission, overseeing finance, and heading the GSA contract. ICU Technologies is recognized as a pioneer in the security industry, particularly in supporting K-12 campus safety projects in the Western U.S. ICU Technologies is a security solutions company that specializes in providing safety and security systems for educational institutions, offering a range of products and services designed to enhance the safety of school facilities, ensuring that security needs are met effectively and efficiently. Previously, he served as the chief executive officer at ICU Technologies from 2019 to 2022 and as vice president, co-owner, and co-founder from 2018 to 2019. His earlier roles include regional sales director at Avigilon from 2017 to 2018, regional sales manager at Avigilon from 2014 to 2017, regional sales manager at Surveillance Systems Integration from 2005 to 2011, and national account manager at Anheuser-Busch Companies, LLC from 1992 to 2005.
Mr. Van Norman laid a solid educational foundation with coursework in business, management, marketing, and related support services at Sierra College in 1992 and coursework in security video at Public Safety Security Solutions in 2020. In light of his impressive undertakings, he earned Rank 265 on the Inc. 5000 list in 2022, Rank 86 as an Inc. 5000 honoree in 2020, and multiple awards from Avigilon, including the Elite Plus Partner Award for 2021, 2022, and 2023, as well as the Presidents Club Platinum Award in 2015. He also ranked in the Top 100 on the Inc. 5000 list and achieved Rank 10 in GSA National Sales and Rank 1 in California. Reflecting on his path, he initially entered the security industry to make ends meet. However, as he became more involved in collaborating with government agencies and focusing on K-12 school districts, he discovered a deep passion for helping educational leaders address the complex challenges of enhancing campus safety.
Mr. Van Norman takes great pride in starting his own business and being “in control of his destiny” to best support his customers. He says that starting his own company was always a dream, but it seemed out of reach for most of his career. ICU Technologies was an existing business, and with the help of his two business partners, he achieved over $100 million in revenue in the first six years and is now positioned as one of the top industry leaders in K-12 campus safety and security. He attributes his success to his passion, mission-driven approach, and dedication to hard work, always prioritizing providing for his family and leaving a lasting legacy. In the coming years, he aims to enable his team to continue advancing their mission of enhancing school safety and sustaining the ICU legacy. He also seeks to spend more time with his family, travel, and potentially explore new business ventures.
