Black Creek Integrated Systems Corp., a premier provider of fully integrated public safety software and correctional facility control systems, is proud to announce Patrick May as its new Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). In this role, May will oversee revenue growth strategy, customer engagement, market expansion, and long‑term commercial initiatives as the company continues its acceleration in the public safety technology sector.
"Patrick joins Black Creek at a pivotal moment as we move into the next phase of our growth," said Brady Hughes, President & CEO of Black Creek.
Founded in 1978, Black Creek Integrated Systems has built a national and international reputation for delivering innovative, mission‑critical security and facility control solutions to high‑security corrections environments. The company pioneered touchscreen facility‑control technology in 1989 and remains an industry leader through continuous research, development, and engineering excellence. Black Creek provides a comprehensive suite of integrated systems—including touchscreen control platforms, jail management systems, detainee well‑being monitoring, records management, and other advanced security subsystems—used across jails, prisons, courthouses, and government facilities.
Most recently, Black Creek entered a new phase of strategic growth following its 2024 acquisition by LXP Capital, a partnership designed to expand capabilities, modernize infrastructure, and strengthen service delivery across the corrections industry.
As Chief Revenue Officer, Patrick May brings deep leadership experience, proven commercial strategy expertise, and a commitment to advancing Black Creek’s mission of improving operational efficiency, increasing safety, and reducing costs for correctional agencies nationwide. May will work closely with CEO Brady Hughes and CFO Phillip Wilson to align sales, marketing, client success, and product strategy to drive sustainable growth and strengthen customer partnerships.
May brings over 25 years of experience in business ownership and C-suite experience to Black Creek and is known for his collaborative leadership style and his ability to unify cross‑functional teams around high‑performance revenue models. His focus on client value and operational excellence aligns with Black Creek’s longstanding reputation for reliability, innovation, and client‑centric design.
