EP 100 Adriaan Bosch on Predictive Risk, Contextual Intelligence, and Evolving Security Strategies - a Vitamin Shot for the Security Brain
Description
Who 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. The corporate world has taught me:
• That you are only as strong as your network
• The value of a healthy culture
• The difference between motivation and consequence
• That emotions, not actions, speak louder than words
• You will meet some amazing people; learn from them
• Taking on new challenges rapidly enables you to acquire and maintain skills
• No matter what you do for work, it pays to be skilled at sales
