DK Security Appoints Sindia Narber as New CEO

October 2, 2021

DK Security is delighted to announce the appointment of Sindia Narber as the company’s Chief Executive Officer as of June 23rd, 2021. She succeeds Co-Founder, President & CEO John Kendall, who passed away in April of this year. Kendall co-founded DK Security in 1995 alongside the late Robert DuHadway, giving 26 years of service to the company he built.

“It is with a humble heart and deep gratitude to the Kendall family for their trust and support of me that I accept this promotion … Above all else, I wish to thank John Kendall for his incredible leadership. Although neither I nor anyone else can fill his shoes, I am determined to continue to honor his legacy.”

She attributes her success to a positive work ethic, confidence, and respect for everyone around her. 

Invaluable leadership skills and a passion for DK Security’s mission have equipped Sindia to fill the role of CEO. Her appointment ushers in a new chapter of growth in our company’s history, and we look forward to her continued success at the helm of DK Security.
