Congratulations, Michael Gips! ?? We continue to draw inspiration from our co-founders' efforts to make a genuine, lasting impact on life safety and security for all. ??
I've found a new home! This picture captures one of my last days at ASIS International, as I was on the cusp of a new journey--starting my own consulting firm, Global Insights in Professional Security (GIPS). The badges not only reflect a lot of conference attendance, but they also prefigure the dynamic and peripatetic experience of the last five years. It's been a wonderful road, and the firm has built strong partnerships, but I missed the stability of a well-respected employer. That's all a prelude to announcing that I've joined Kroll as a Managing Director in their ESRM unit. I'll be privileged to work alongside outstanding professionals in an elite firm. My years as a Chief Knowledge and Learning Officer at ASIS infusing ESRM into the content, standards, learning, and culture there teed me up nicely for this role. I will continue to provide services in strategic consulting, risk assessment, ESRM implementation, convergence, content creation, litigation support/expert witness duties, thought leadership, research, etc. Many thanks to Kroll for adapting the role to my skills, abilities, experience, network, and professional persona. As such, I'm not disappearing from the greater security world. I will remain active on LinkedIn. I will continue to vigorously support the #securityprofession, enhance standards of practice, participate in security associations, serve on boards, mentor and advise security professionals, help colleagues find jobs, generate content, publish research, present at conferences and webinars, etc.. But this time with the tremendous authority, expertise, reputation, insight, and wisdom that Kroll brings to bear. For some of you who have approached my company over the last five years, I lacked the resources to take on larger projects. Now I have an expert team with a deep bench and deeper knowledge. Reach back out to me and let's talk.
