I provide geopolitical risk, protective intelligence, and crisis preparedness advisory services for executives, corporations, and internationally exposed families operating in high-risk environments.
My background includes more than a decade supporting senior U.S. government leadership as part of protective intelligence and security operations teams, including assignments supporting CIA executive leadership in non-permissive environments worldwide. In these roles I integrated signals intelligence, human intelligence, and open-source reporting into operational threat assessments used to guide executive protection posture, movement planning, and crisis response. Across dozens of high-risk missions supporting senior leadership, operations were conducted without security failures.
After government service I directed maritime operations supporting high-net-worth clients throughout Latin America, managing logistics, vendor coordination, and security planning for complex international operations. I later served as a senior threat intelligence analyst advising correctional system leadership on exposure to organized crime networks and transnational cartel activity, developing intelligence-driven threat assessment methodologies used to identify systemic vulnerabilities and mitigate institutional risk.
In 2020 I was wrongfully detained in Venezuela and later designated as a wrongful detainee by the U.S. Secretary of State under the Robert Levinson Hostage Recovery Act. Following my release, I worked with the Office of the Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs during the resolution process. That experience provides a firsthand understanding of state-level detention dynamics, coercive interrogation environments, and diplomatic escalation during international crises.
Today my advisory work focuses on practical risk management for organizations and individuals operating internationally. Services include geopolitical risk analysis, executive protection strategy, crisis preparedness, detention and hostage risk awareness, and intelligence-driven threat assessments for operations in Latin America and other high-risk regions.
I also provide geopolitical and security analysis for national media outlets including CNN, Fox News, and CBS, translating complex international security developments for executive audiences and the public.
