Send us a textWho am I?As a seasoned consultant in Physical Security, Loss Prevention, and Risk Management, I collaborate with a dedicated team of experts to craft robust security strategies for multinational companies and diverse organizations. My journey in the security domain spans over 20 years, during which I've led security operations for multinational corporations in some of the world's most demanding environments. In my present role, I'm instrumental in shaping security strategies for groundbreaking projects and developments, redefining the perception of security and safety in society.Driven by a deep conviction that security knowledge and resources should be universally accessible, I am committed to advocating for security as a fundamental human right. This passion fuels my dedication to not only protect but also empower communities and individuals with the tools and understanding necessary to ensure their safety and well-being.☕️ What makes me Tick?I'm human. I value life, I enjoy the rewards and challenges of being a husband and a father, I seek the company of other like-minded individuals and I pursue the mind's curiosity through constant learning, travelling, seeking and experiencing. ✈️ Through my pursuits, I have travelled to 48 countries and experienced the enormity of our world and the diversity of humankind - both beautiful and grotesque. My journey has taught me that life is ultimately about our choices. Everything in life comes at a price and you need to be careful full what you choose. I choose to protect, defend and empower others to protect what is good. ⚔️ While travelling taught me about the world, the military taught me about myself: My strengths, My weakness, My fears and My hopes. It made me a better Human and showed me the importance of responsibility, teamwork, planning ahead, extreme accountability and how to walk with dignity pride and confidence. 🏛️ Everything, even corporate positions, is driven by or built around humans.

Send us a textMichael Ward“The Buckingham Palace Ghostwriter”Brief BioAlthough Irish, Michael Ward is a long-time resident of England. As a child, he was fascinated by the power of words to create compelling stories. For him, books were portals to other worlds. To him, writers were magicians. A desire to find out ‘what makes people tick’ led to him becoming a psychologist and a management consultant, specialising in organisational change. His first book, ‘Why Your Corporate Culture Change Isn’t Working… And What to Do About It’ was born out of a burning desire to share what he’d learned. It sold in five countries. His second book, ‘50 Essential Management Techniques’ sold in 29 countries and consolidated his reputation. Quite by chance, he discovered that well written books with great content give you authority in the marketplace – and lucrative contracts! These days he helps guide other people through the book writing process. Well written books with great content have timeless appeal. And they can bring very considerable business benefits.
