21+ years across military service, corporate security and crisis advisory

Ten years in uniform, including service as a military criminal investigator, followed by more than a decade developing and directing global security teams for multinational corporations and private family offices across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Latin America and Asia Pacific.

He has led global teams at multi-billion-dollar multinational companies, running their end-to-end security, intelligence, investigations and supply chain security programmes worldwide, and has advised boards of directors on the risks in front of them. He has managed annual corporate security budgets of USD 50 million across multi-billion-dollar security infrastructure projects.

He has also led critical national infrastructure and supply chain security programmes and run evacuations from Iraq, Lebanon, Israel, Ukraine, Russia and other high-risk environments.

Across extensive global travel, he immerses himself in local culture, economies and ways of working to understand how people think and operate on the ground, and to identify the threats, risks, vulnerabilities and opportunities each place holds.
