In this episode of the Vision InSites Podcast, host Chris Anderson sits down with Mike Rendon, founder and CEO of Gate Sentry, for an eye-opening conversation about how a corporate strategist turned a gated-community frustration into one of the most innovative visitor management solutions in the security industry.
From two decades in corporate leadership with companies like Bank of America, Unilever, and American Airlines, to running his own guard company and technology firm, Mike shares how his problem-solving mindset led to the creation of Gate Sentry — a tool now helping property managers and HOA boards across the country improve security, simplify operations, and reduce costs.
They dive into:
- How a corporate background inspired a smarter, simpler approach to visitor management
- Why eliminating paper logs and hardware reduces risk and increases accountability
- How technology can help guard companies improve efficiency and client trust
- The future of intelligent access and automation in gated communities
- What it means to lead with innovation, empathy, and real-world experience
Whether you’re a property manager, HOA board member, or security operator, you’ll walk away with actionable insights on innovation, leadership, and how technology is reshaping private security — one gate at a time.
