Before bringing his biometrics and facial recognition expertise to VSBLTY, Pruitt started in 2016 in the Washington, DC offices of NEC where he was responsible for working with the firm’s technology portfolio—including video analytics—to create solutions that uniquely fit the requirements of federal and commercial customers. His role was to combine cutting-edge research and technology and biometrics to build personalized experiences that encouraged users to interact and engage with digital content as well as create a frictionless and seamless experience. Concurrently, he served as Chair of the Advances in Biometric Technology Working Group of the International Biometrics+Identity Association in the Nation’s Capital to advance public security solutions.

Rinaldi joined the Tampa, FL offices of Optika Display, a Stratacache, Inc. company, in 2011.

Rinaldi developed innovative interactive display product lines from concept to commercialization, including product management, logistics and go-to-market strategies. During his career at Optika he worked with the nation’s top consumer packaged goods companies, including Coca Cola, Fiji Water and Unilever as well as with America’s leading retailers such as Albertsons, Walmart, Publix and Kroger.

Earning his Master of Computer Science and Engineering specializing in Biometrics at the University of Notre Dame, Pruitt frequently was published by professional journals and conferences and has previously served as an Adjunct Professor of Biometrics at George Mason University, Fairfax, VA. His other executive technology positions included Principal Solutions Architect, Federal for MorphoTrust USA (IDEMIA) in Washington, and Senior Biometrics Engineer, in the McLean, VA offices of the MITRE Corporation. For four years previously, he was a Research Assistant at the University of Notre Dame.

Before joining Stratacache, Rinaldi was with PepsiCo for 11 years, the last five of which he was Senior Sales Capability Manager. Previously, he held sales management positions with Odwalla, Inc. in Washington, DC and Atlantic Beverage Co., in Baltimore, MD.

Both executives are charged with driving the development of customized solutions that match VSBLTY clients’ unique business and security related challenges.
