London, England, United Kingdom
Global security executive leading corporate security, executive protection, crisis management and resilience programmes across complex international environments. As Senior Director of Global Corporate Safety & Security at Salesforce, I lead security strategy and operations across EMEA, APAC, India, Africa and the Middle East, protecting employees, executives, customers and strategic business operations that support billions of dollars in annual revenue opportunities. I have built and led high-performing international teams, advised senior executives through periods of heightened geopolitical and operational risk, and developed security programmes that balance effective risk management with business outcomes. I believe the strongest security functions are business enablers that help organisations operate, grow and innovate with confidence. My experience spans corporate security, executive protection, crisis management, protective intelligence, physical security, business continuity, travel risk management and organisational resilience. I have led responses to terrorism-related threats, geopolitical crises, civil unrest, severe weather events, executive security concerns and major business disruptions across multiple regions. Prior to Salesforce, I spent 17 years in UK Counter Terrorism Policing, culminating as Head of Digital Operations. I led intelligence-led investigations, specialist operational teams and transformation programmes designed to protect the UK from terrorism and hostile threats, working closely with intelligence agencies, government departments and international partners. Today, I partner with executive leadership and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver intelligence-led security strategies that strengthen resilience, support decision-making and protect organisational reputation. I am passionate about leveraging intelligence, technology and data to enhance situational awareness and help organisations navigate an increasingly complex global risk landscape.
