Paul Caplan, School Safety Domain Executive, Safer Buildings Coalition
Paul Caplan has been a b-to-b media executive for more than 40 years. Included among his experience was leadership of the physical security media platforms at both Penton and Cygnus Business Media. At Cygnus, his group launched the first-ever portal for the industry SecurityInfoWatch. Most recently he was the Vice President for the Government and Manufacturing Markets at Informa, which included the IWCE Expo and the OMDIA research group focused on Critical Communications and Control Rooms.
Why I chose to come onboard:
Having worked up close with the Safer Building Coalition through our partnership around IWCE, I witnessed firsthand the impact SBC has on the critical communications and public safety sectors in pushing through positive change toward making our buildings safer. SBC’s new initiatives in the area of school/campus safety were a natural fit for my background in covering the physical security industry and making our schools safer has always been a cause I feel passionate about.
