With a team of internationally acclaimed experts, Defuse Global delievers unrivalled expertise

With almost 30 years of experience as a Scotland Yard Detective, including a long secondment to British Intelligence, I have honed my skills in investigating and mitigating threats and risks and managing a crisis to avoid physical and reputational harm.

I was a Counter-Terrorism Security Coordinator (CT SecCo), developing security plans to minimise, manage, and mitigate risk to high-profile events involving members of the UK Royal family and Government ministers.

In 2019, I founded Defuse Global to deliver the same expertise to high-risk, high-profile, and high-net-worth clients that I had previously provided to Politicians and members of the Royal Family.

My expertise in dealing with physical, reputational, and psychological threats caused me to be the person tasked with setting up and running a new team in the UK Parliament to manage the threats directed at UK politicians following the assassination of Jo Cox MP in 2016 as a time of genuine fear.

I have an MSc in Security Management and am a Chartered Security Professional. The UK security industry has recognised me as one of its most trusted leaders and advisors regarding threats to high-profile, high-risk, and high-net-worth people.

I deliver science-based solutions tailored to your unique needs so you can feel safe and secure.

Digital Executive Protection

Keeping Executives, High Profile, Private and High-Net-Worth Clients safe from digital threats.

Every day, your data is shared, sold, and used without your permission. It is acquired both from day-to-day functions and from criminal activities such as cybercrime. A good cyber security policy is important; however, it will not prevent your data from being acquired, as criminals target global brands that hold your data and then distribute it as part of a larger package. This data is known as Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

PII is any information that permits an individual’s identity to be directly or indirectly inferred, including any information linked or linkable to an individual. Protection against threats in the digital space that result in financial, reputational and even physical harm. My DEP program is multi-layered, grounded in the current threat landscape, and constantly evolving to counter the ever-changing digital threats.

Executive Protection Software Reduces Risks
The executive protection software I use scans and removes your personally identifiable information (“PII”) from over 400 data broker websites. It also conducts daily monitoring and continued deletion to ensure that the information initially deleted does not resurface.

Advanced Darkweb Monitoring & Expertise
Daily scanning and monitoring of the Deep and Darkweb for threats and leaked private information and passwords. I will work with you and your team to eliminate the risks when threats surface.

Protective Security

As the world continues to evolve, so do the threats to our safety and security. As a Chartered Security Professional, I have unique access to intelligence and analytical processes designed to protect people, physical assets, and information. My expertise comes from being responsible for the national protective security operation that UK Members of Parliament were entitled to, both at their homes and their places of work, and from being a Counter Terrorism Security Coordinator protecting Government, Royal, and VIP events.

Feeling safe and relaxed is essential, whether at work or home. That’s why I deliver independent, accurate, and needs-based reviews of your security measures. My focus is firmly on keeping you secure and helping you feel safer. With my vetted network of commercial suppliers and specialists, I will ensure only the most trusted and professional systems are recommended.

Protective Intelligence

Protective intelligence is a vital tool for protectors to proactively identify, assess, and mitigate threats to protectees.

I have developed unrivalled expertise in using behavioural science, forensic profiling, and threat management to identify, assess and manage issues directed at the high net worth and other prominent figures. My proven expertise has helped to prevent serious attacks against some of the most prominent people.

I understand the personal and professional impact of issues such as disputes, harassment, stalking, toxic workplace behaviours, and fixated threats, which are common. That’s why I am here to help you defuse any situation, allowing you to focus on your passions and businesses and reducing the risks of financial and reputational harm.

I conduct digital investigations using multiple analysts, including Open Source Intelligence, Darkweb, and database searches.

At Defuse Global, we understand the importance of being prepared and staying ahead of potential threats through accurate, trusted, and professionally analysed information.

Investigations

With Defuse, you can rest assured that your investigations are safe. With decades of investigative expertise,  I am well-versed in various areas, from simple crimes to more complex issues, including some of the most challenging, personally intrusive and concerning issues.

My investigations seek to find the truth supported by lawful and ethical evidence.

I have you covered whether you need to trace assets, people, or valuable items.

Crisis management and communications

In today’s fast-paced digital world, reputation is everything, and one wrong move can bring everything tumbling down. That’s why trust is key, and expertise is critical. With the rise of deep fake videos and personal information sold on the Dark Web, even the most established individuals and companies face existential threats.

This is where I come in. With decades of experience investigating some of the most serious, complex, and high-profile cases, I have advised well-known prominent and corporate figures on security, crisis communications, and threat issues. As a result, I have developed a holistic approach to effectively and creatively resolve the issues of concern.

Personal Security Advisor and Consultant

Sometimes, you want to pick up the phone and speak to someone you trust about an issue, knowing that you are getting the best advice free from judgment.

I aim to create and manage a customized security strategy that allows our clients to maintain a secure and balanced lifestyle.

I am fortunate to have the very best and most operationally qualified experts in effectively protecting high profile, high risk and high net worth clients and their families and assets, with a deep understanding of the issues that concern them.

Acting as the central contact for all security matters, we seamlessly coordinate and manage essential security components to ensure our client’s safety. Trust us to provide peace of mind and a secure environment wherever you go. We act as your ‘on-call’ confidential advisers so you can live free from worry.

We focus on minimising risks through preventative measures and seamlessly incorporating security into our clients’ daily routines.

Understanding the security landscape enables us to identify and address potential risks effectively. We ensure that our security solutions remain robust and adaptive, safeguarding our clients today and in the future. In addition to overseeing daily security concerns, we proactively assess and enhance security resilience, updating procedures and policies as needed.

We aim to reduce risks through preventative procedures while seamlessly integrating security into our clients’ lifestyles.

Having a security overview allows us to understand the risks you face and mitigate these risks by ensuring the security solutions we have developed work effectively and continue to be capable of carrying out the tasks today and into the future.

In addition to managing day-to-day security issues, we proactively test current security resilience and update any procedures and policies that are found to be ineffective or irrelevant.

Personal Safety Training

Your ability to go about everyday life free from the threat or fear of psychological, emotional or physical harm from others is no longer a given.

Personal safety requires personal responsibility, however having some additional insight and knowledge is also advantageous.

Personal safety aims to avoid a problem, not resolve it through de-escalation or self-defence training.

In this workshop, my operational experience in covertly gathering intelligence, policing and protecting prominent people will be shared.

These principles can then be adapted to help you be safer at home or abroad, when on business or leisure.

This unique workshop can be tailored to be delivered to a group, a family or an individual.

Topics include:
• Using your intuition.
• Instincts, what are they and how to use them.
• How to be situationally aware.
• Street safe in an urban environment.
• Staying safe abroad.
