Government Contractors | Technology | Aerospace 2025: STEPHEN TRUNDLE 

Trundle has led Tysons-based home security tech company Alarm.com since 2003, coming aboard from its founding parent company, MicroStrategy (now known as Strategy), where he served as chief technology officer. The company sold the spinoff security business to investors in 2009, and Alarm.com, which now has 2,000 employees, went public in 2015.

Alarm.com has become known for its rapid expansion, as the market for connected home and business security services has increased. In 2020 and 2021, it was named to Fortune magazine’s list of the top 100 Fastest Growing Companies, marking a 22% growth rate from the previous three years and bringing in

$639 million in revenue in 2021. In fiscal 2024, its revenue increased to $939.8 million, up from $881.7 million in 2023.
On June 30, Trundle visited the Nasdaq stock exchange and rang the opening bell to mark a decade on the index.

In February, Alarm.com acquired Louisiana’s CHeKt, a cloud-based remote video monitoring system provider, which will continue to operate independently. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Trundle holds a bachelor’s degree in engineering and government from Dartmouth College.
