Sales and Marketing Team
The people behind R2P Innovations working every day to help schools, hospitals, and communities turn protection into reality.
John Barwise
John Barwise serves as a Sales Executive at R2P Innovations, helping school leaders explore protective door solutions that create safe havens and provide critical time when seconds matter. He joined R2P because he believes protecting children is work worth dedicating a career to. For John, Responsibility to Protect is more than the company’s name. It is the purpose behind everything the team does.
Outside of work, John is a lifelong dog lover and can often be found walking along the beach with his two dogs, Fritz and Tux.
Adam Deering
Adam Deering serves as a Sales Engineer at R2P Innovations, combining extensive product knowledge with customer engagement and business development. He joined R2P nearly four years ago as a door technician, gaining hands-on experience in assembly, machining, fabrication, and installation. That work gave him a strong technical foundation and firsthand understanding of the engineering and craftsmanship behind R2P’s protective doors. Today, Adam uses that experience to help customers understand and implement R2P’s solutions while also helping lead the company’s expanding healthcare safety initiative.
Originally from South Africa, Adam enjoys scuba diving, skydiving, and spending time with his two miniature dachshunds.
Will Perritt
Will Perritt serves as a Sales Engineer at R2P Innovations, supporting the design and development of the company’s ballistic and fire-rated door systems. He first joined R2P as an intern and came on full time in 2025 after spending two summers with the team. His work also extends into go-to-market strategy, sales enablement, and product visualization, translating technical performance into information that school districts, hospitals, and government buyers can act on.
A Charleston native, Will holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Clemson University, where he played rugby for five years. Outside of work, he enjoys fishing and golfing.
Jamie Finch
Jamie Finch serves as Director of Strategic Growth at R2P Innovations, bringing experience across business development, public affairs, government, politics, education, and community advocacy. She builds strategic partnerships and advances initiatives focused on strengthening safety in schools and communities. Her work brings together public officials, school leaders, community organizations, and other stakeholders to develop practical security solutions tailored to the needs of the people they protect. Jamie is passionate about protecting children and helping create safer environments for students, educators, families, and communities.
Outside of her work with R2P, Jamie enjoys spending time with her family and is actively involved in Jewish advocacy and community safety initiatives. She is also a leader of Magen Yeladim, a philanthropic initiative focused on helping protect Jewish schools, synagogues, and community institutions.
Jenn Greene
Jenn Greene serves as Director of School Partnerships at R2P Innovations, helping schools and parent communities turn lifesaving protection into reality. As a mother of two, former PTA President, and leader of her school’s volleyball program, school safety is deeply personal to her. Jenn helped lead the fundraising effort that brought R2P’s bulletproof classroom doors to her children’s school. That experience helped inspire R2P’s Classroom Protection Program, a phased approach that allows schools to begin protecting students and educators one classroom door at a time. Today, she works with schools nationwide to develop realistic implementation strategies, support fundraising efforts, and create safer learning environments.
Outside R2P, Jenn spends most of her time with family, on the volleyball court or fitting in a Pilates class. A former college volleyball player, she remains active in Charleston’s volleyball community. She has led the volleyball program at her children’s school for the past 10 years and also coaches club volleyball.
Sydney Long
Sydney Long is the Director of Marketing at R2P Innovations, where she leads the company’s marketing and communications strategy. She brings experience in public relations, digital strategy, and government communications, including her time as Communications Director in the U.S. House of Representatives. At R2P, she helps communicate the company’s work to protect people in schools, healthcare facilities, and other public spaces.
Sydney is a proud College of Charleston grad and mom to Charlotte, her rescue dog.
