The last thing Bob wanted was executive protection . . .
With insights only lived experience can provide, seasoned security pro Christian West shares lessons learned from years of protecting some of corporate America's most prominent people.
In a profession that is inherently up-close and personal with the principal, the ultimate success and sustainability of a protective program hinges directly on the selection, training, and management of the right staff. The Protective Circle provides guiding principles on how to conceive, build, and run successful executive protection programs for companies, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals.
From the foundations of contemporary corporate executive protection to managing a protection program, Christian gives insight into key queries that clients and practitioners need to ask and answer:
- Why companies and family offices establish EP programs
- How to set up and manage quality protective programs - and troubleshoot or turn around underperforming ones
- Which roles a stakeholder in the protective ecosystem plays
- What to outsource, what to insource, and how to find the right service partners
Executive protection is a people business. With illustrative, real-world cases of what executive protection professionals actually do, this guide will help you optimize your program and your people for success.
