Career Highlights

My career in the security domain started as a young recruit in the armed forces. It is here that my foundation for discipline, responsibility and respect for life was laid paving the way to a remarkable career. After passing a stringent vetting process I was transferred into the South African Intelligence Service Communities serving in both the South African Intelligence Service and later in the South African Secret Service performing close protection duties for some of the most prominent office bearers in the country. During my years in the intelligence Service i traveled extensively and experienced, first hand and under various conditions, the theory and practice of security fundamentals in many diverse countries. My experience within the Intelligence Service gave me a good grounding in accomplishing mission critical objectives and to deliver exceptional results.

After i left the service i continued my career within the private security sector and were fortunate to work with many security professionals within corporate business, media, engineering and oil and gas environments. In my capacity as a security expert I assisted many business enterprises in risk reduction consultation and security strategy development. Some of these companies include inter alia; Perenco, Exxon Mobil, Ascot, Single Buoy Moorings, Acergy, Addax Petroleum, Khaled Albaltan Group, Mogas, Beach Energy, Fugro Offshore Survey, Oryx, Lafarge, Coca Cola, SBC, SABB, GE Aviation, BBC, SKY News, Panorama, Bachs Sports.
