Langer
Communications Group, Las
Vegas, Nevada, will be installed
on the Board during the ASIS
58th Annual Seminar and Exhibits in Philadelphia, on Tuesday, September 11.
Chase. Richard Chase
joined the Society in 2003 and
currently serves as a council
vice president. He is a member
of the ASIS Law Enforcement
Liaison Council and was its
chair in 2007. He is a member
of the San Diego Chapter.
As a Board member, Chase
plans to focus on the retention
of members and membership growth because he believes that the best way to promote the Society’s intellectual expertise internationally is through its volunteers. He hopes to further advance networking
opportunities, which he considers a valuable benefit.
He will advocate training that teaches best practices
through virtual, physical, and mobile learning.
Chase says the Board must continue to ensure that
ASIS’s strategic plan “stimulates ingenuity, fosters
self-investment, promotes a
common vision, and anticipates emerging threats and
opportunities.”
Chase received a master’s
of science with a focus on
security management from
Michigan State University.
He began his security career
with the U.S. Department
of Justice and held various
positions with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
and Firearms as well as the
U.S. Border Patrol. He is
affiliated with numerous
McDonald
federal law enforcement
organizations. His passion
is to promote public-private security partnerships
aimed at improving homeland security.
Langer. Thomas Langer has been an active member
of ASIS since 2000. He is vice chair of the Society’s
Defense and Intelligence Council and served as its
chair in 2001. He is a member of the National Capital
Chapter.
Langer is confident that he will bring an understanding of the security profession, the community,
and the business environment to the Board. He will
also be an advocate for security professionalism, and
notes that ASIS must “watch carefully to ensure that
the community remains relevant in a time of tighter
budgets and difficult discretionary spending.”
Another issue that Langer hopes to pursue is critical
infrastructure integration. While he acknowledges that
approaches to safeguarding differ
among sectors, he sees the “need
for a community-wide approach
to identifying and applying sorely
needed but scarce resources to
large scale projects.”
Langer holds a bachelor of science degree from St. Anselm College and has actively participated
in the National Industrial Security
Program Advisory Committee and
the Aerospace Industries Association. He has held responsible security positions with BAE Systems
for 28 years.
McDonald. Joseph McDonald
has been an ASIS member for 20
years and has been reelected to
the ASIS Board of Directors for a
second term. He has been a council vice president and an active
member of the ASIS Gaming and
Wagering Protection Council. He
has served as that council’s chair,
vice chair, and secretary. McDonald is a member of the Las Vegas
Chapter.
As a returning board member,
McDonald will pick up the initiatives he began in his first term. His
interests focus on increasing membership numbers, specifically of
professionals in junior management
positions and students. He will
also continue to be an advocate
for developing standards and addi-
tional certification opportunities.
As a third goal, McDonald says
that he will pursue recognition for
those members who have worked
to make ASIS successful “through
volunteer leadership, past and
present.”
He says that ASIS Board members must be able to “herald the
benefits, vision, and business of
the association to the public, our
members, and the profession with
an ear to the needs of all three.”
McDonald has pursued advanced degrees at National University and the University of Phoenix,
both in San Diego. He is currently
attending Henley-Putnam University in San Jose. He has held responsible positions in security
management for 25 years with
companies on the West Coast.
Early in his career, McDonald was
a special investigator with the U.S.
Investigative Service. He retains
membership in numerous law enforcement-related organizations.
McDonald attributes his successful rise in security positions to the
“education, certifications, and
friendships I have made through
ASIS.” He says he strongly believes
that his career is tied to what he
has given back to ASIS through
the volunteering of his time and
knowledge. ◆

wo new titles are available
in the ASIS International
Online Bookstore at www.
asisonline.org.
The first is Aviation and Maritime
Security Intelligence by Hassan N.
Eltaher. Published by E&W Communications, this timely book explores the intelligence function
within the overall theme of transportation security, concentrating
on security intelligence. The book
discusses practical means for preempting threats to the aviation
and maritime sections by addressing the important role, workings,
and limitations of intelligence;
synthesizing intelligence analysis,
assessment, and interpretation;
confronting cultural bias and narrowing the security intelligence
gap; highlighting the defining role
of leadership in intelligence; putting the threat of terrorism in its
proper context; assessing the aviation and maritime threat environments; building the structure and
management of the transportation
security intelligence function; and
managing the threat and risk assessment process and the ongoing
interaction between intelligence
and the stakeholders.
The second new offering, Cargo
Theft, Loss Prevention, and Supply
Chain Security, is by Dan Burges,
CPP, and is published by Elsevier/
Butterworth-Heinemann. In this
groundbreaking book, one of the
6
world’s leading experts in cargo
crime analysis and loss prevention
brings to light the full magnitude
of the problem and outlines steps
companies can take to secure the
supply chain. Part history of cargo
theft, part analysis, and part howto guide, this book will help readers understand every facet of cargo
theft and prevent losses. It
supplies cargo theft statistics
and provides solutions and
best practices to supplychain security.
Key features of the book
include steps for identifying
the weakest links in the
supply chain and customizing a security program to
help prevent thefts and recover losses. It offers detailed explanations of downstream
costs in a way that makes sense—
including efficiency losses, customer dissatisfaction, product recalls, and more. It also provides a
complete methodology for use in
creating a customized supply
chain security program as well as
in-depth analysis of commonly
encountered supply chain security
problems.

POA’s New Format
A
fter years of planning and
hard work, the print version of the Protection of Assets (POA), published by ASIS International, has transitioned from
four manuals to eight hardbound
books.
The following titles comprise
the POA set: Information Security, Investigation, Security Officer Operations,
Crisis Management, Security Management, Physical Security, Applications,
and Legal Issues. Entire sections of
the content in each volume have
been revised and updated.
The books can be purchased as
a set or individually. The POA is
also available as an online subscription. This option gives customers
access to the complete searchable
text of the POA for 12 months, and
can be renewed annually. A third
option is to combine the online
access with the print volumes.
Currently, more than 200 security subject matter experts regularly review and update portions
of the POA. Michael E. Knoke,
CPP, serves as managing editor for
each volume.
Since it was first published in
1974, the POA has covered the full
spectrum of physical, information,
and personnel security topics. The
reference is a staple of security
management directors and others
responsible for asset protection. It
also has been a primary text used
by academicians and students in
security management courses, and
professional development security
programs, and by those studying
for the Certified Protection Professional® exam.

Legislative News
A
SIS International attended
meetings and signed onto
two letters aimed at overturning a guidance issued by the
Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC) that would
discourage employers from using
criminal background history in
employee screenings. In doing so,
ASIS joined several major associations also sharing concerns.
Essentially, the new guidance
forces employers to perform “validation studies” to prove that employment decisions made based on
criminal background information
are job-related and consistent with
business necessity. The likely result
of this guidance will be fewer employers performing criminal back-

SIS International has issued
a call for presentations for
the ASIS 12th European
Security Conference and Exhibition in Gothenburg, Sweden, April
14-16, 2013. Around 500 senior security professionals, corporate executives, consultants, and government
officials are expected to attend 33
focused educational sessions divided over three parallel tracks that
will cover a wide range of security
issues.
ASIS welcomes abstracts on all
security-related topics. However,
topics of particular interest are:
critical infrastructure protection,
supply chain security, loss prevention, hotel security, soft targets
protection, intellectual property,
maritime piracy, terrorism, executive protection, internal theft and

ground checks because of the increased risk of being sued or facing
costly investigations by the EEOC.
The EEOC currently is reviewing
a similar guidance for the use of
credit checks. ASIS believes that a
reduction in background and credit
checks is a threat to public safety
and will continue to actively monitor this issue.
ASIS also signed onto a letter
circulated by the American Society
of Association Executives opposing
proposed congressional and White
House restrictions on the ability
of federal agencies to use public
funds to send representatives to
meetings of private sector groups.
The proposals, largely in response
to GSA misuse of conference
funds, would severely limit the
opportunity of federal officials to
attend events, such as the ASIS
Seminar and Exhibits and other
ASIS meetings, and it would have
a negative impact on the establishment and conduct of public-private
partnerships, which are so critical
in security.
Also last quarter, ASIS submitted a letter of support for H.R.
3523, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing
and Protection Act of 2012 (CISPA),
introduced by House Intelligence
Committee Chairman Mike Rogers
(R-MI). CISPA would establish a
voluntary information-sharing network and imposes no new federal
mandates on private citizens or
businesses. H.R. 3523 successfully
passed the House of Representatives with bipartisan support on
April 26. The Senate has yet to act
on CISPA.
Also, ASIS conducted a meeting at ASIS headquarters with
representatives of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to discuss
the details of a partnership between
ASIS and the DOJ to promote the
National Suspicious Activities Reporting Initiative. The DOJ and
ASIS will work together in cobranded activities to disseminate
information to the private sector
security community. ◆

Simeone Award
Bestowed
on Orlando
T
HE ASIS INTERNATIONAL
Law Enforcement Liaison Council
(LELC) and the ASIS Foundation
are pleased to announce that the
winners of the 2012 Matthew Simeone
ASIS Award for Public-Private Partnership
Excellence are the ASIS Greater Orlando Chapter and its law
enforcement partner, the Orange County Sheriff ’s Office.
ESTABLISHED IN 2011, the Matthew
Simeone ASIS Award for Public
Private-Partnership Excellence recognizes outstanding achievement by
private organizations and public
agencies that partner to address
crime prevention, antiterrorism,
public safety issues, and other difficult challenges. Matthew Simeone
was a distinguished 24-year member of the Nassau County, New
York, Police Department (NCPD).
Prior to his untimely death in 2009,
he was the commanding officer of
the Police Commissioner’s Community Affairs Unit, a highly respected
private-sector liaison, and an active
LELC member.
“Public-private partnerships are
vital to safeguarding our communities. The concept of these partnerships is not only critical to those
of us here in the United States, but
throughout the world. This award
highlights the importance of collaboration between the public and
private sectors in fighting crime
and terrorism. The incredible response we have had in applications also underscores the global
footprint that ASIS has within
both the security and law enforcement communities. I am proud to
be the 2012 chair of the LELC and
to work with our domestic and
international partners to help bring
this award to the forefront,” says
Brian H. Reich, CPP.
A Selection Committee consisting of representatives from the
LELC, ASIS, and the International
Association of Chiefs of Police’s
Private Sector Liaison Committee
chose the winners from among
nine applications.
In their application, the Orlando-based organizations acknowledged reluctance for law enforcement to share “information, crime
trends, strategy, and training techniques” with the private sector.
The solution for the Orange
County Sheriff ’s Office and the
private sector evolved over the
course of many years. The sectors
“purposefully and diligently”
worked to establish an environment of mutual trust.
“We take great pride in the
partnership between the public
and private sectors. The Simeone
Award is symbolic of years of
trust building and risk taking culminating in a model strategy aimed
at protecting and preserving the
Orlando/Orange County brand,”
says Greater Orlando Vice Chair
Gregory Moore, security director
of the Mall at Millenia. “Orlando/
Orange County saw 55 million
visitors in 2011, making this partnership a critical factor in the success of the region.”
In cooperation with the private
sector, local law enforcement developed specialized units known
as Tourist Oriented Police Services
to protect, educate, and serve Orlando’s tourist population.
“We are honored to receive this
award. Every day we see the
positive results of
community partnerships with the attractions, hotels, and restaurants in Orange County’s
tourist corridor. The evidence is
clear that we accomplish more
together than we do apart,”
states Sergeant Doug Sarubbi,
Orange County Sheriff ’s Office.
The partnership has seen
participation grow steadily
over the 16 years since it was established. All parties have equal
input and opportunity to voice
concerns, recommendations, and
feedback. Information flows in
both directions and meetings are
steered by leading members of
both the public and private sectors.
“Walls of silence and the silo
mentalities of yesteryear are no
longer acceptable to anyone who
holds a highly responsible position
of security within their community.
Security leaders in both sectors
recognize that rapport, reciprocity,
and cooperation to share appropriate intelligence helps foster and facilitate strategic alliances with essential stakeholders within the law
enforcement and private security
community. The Simeone Award
recognizes the outstanding partner-

Farber, chair of Award Selection
Committee.
One representative from the private and public sector will receive
an all-expenses paid trip to attend
the ASIS 58th Annual Seminar and

award will be formally presented
at the Wednesday, September 12,
networking luncheon honoring law
enforcement professionals. ◆

Education
Executive Education Options
T
here are no limits to the
ways ASIS International’s
educational partnerships
can help security executives move
ahead in their careers. Top-notch
academic institutions on both
sides of the Atlantic have partnered with ASIS to offer advanced
educational degrees centered on
the qualities of leadership needed
to succeed in today’s international
business climate. A variety of options can be considered.
Leadership Certificate. The
Wharton School of Business at the
University of Pennsylvania and
ASIS International offer a two-week
course in core business knowledge
taught by the same faculty used
in Wharton’s top-ranked MBA
program. This program is geared
toward senior-level chief security
officers and others in high-level
security management positions.
The course, a resident program
based in Philadelphia, is offered
over two weeks, separated by a
two-month hiatus. The first half
of the current iteration is being
held from November 26 to 30. The
second week, also held in Philadelphia, will take place from January
28 to February 1, 2013.
Enrollment in the
course, which was
developed by Wharton at the request of ASIS, is not open to the
general public. Participants receive
a certificate from the Wharton
School and ASIS upon completion
of the two-week program.
The curriculum covers the core
business concepts to enhance participants’ strategic perspectives and
sharpen their business instincts.
Modules bridge theory and practice
on such topics as strategic thinking, managing people, negotiation,
finance, and marketing. Emphasis
is also placed on communicating
effectively with other corporate
leaders, especially when tackling
the bottom-line implications of security decisions.
In the first week, participants
are given a tour of the Gettysburg
Battlefield to learn lessons on
leadership and strategy from those
remarkable days in history. The
second week includes a day immersed in negotiation and persuasion. At the end of the course,
each participant prepares a 100-day
action plan geared to specific
work requirements and settings.
“My primary reason for attending the program was for continued
personal development and to gain a

CSO Roundtable
CSO Roundtable Holds Congress in Mexico
by Michael Gips
A
t the first sign of a crisis in a
country where they have a
presence but are not based,
many companies prepare to evacuate or otherwise provide for expatriates who might be in danger.
But what about country nationals?
Often they are ignored or are afterthoughts.
This was the leadoff topic at
the 2nd Annual CSO Roundtable
Congress, held in conjunction with
the Mexico City Chapter’s annual
“congreso” on July 11. Antonio
Gaona Rosete, head of security for
the large retail chain Soriana, and
Héctor Coronado Navarro, CPP,
Latin America security director for
Hewlett Packard, led a lively discussion covering cultural norms,
legal implications, ethics, and cost
factors influencing duty of care.
As an example of culture dictating duty of care, one Mexican
company wanted its U.S. employees to fly just two weeks after 9-11.
“As Mexicans, we didn’t understand” their reluctance to travel,
one attendee said. The company’s
U.S.-based attorneys eventually recommended that the U.S. employees
not be made to fly out of respect
for the travelers’ fear and the national trauma of 9-11.
At what point do you also evacuate country nationals who live
in-country and have a whole support system there? It gets tricky
asking the nonevacuees “to keep
the office clean” until everyone else
comes back, said Gaona. Being left
behind may foster resentment,
which undermines loyalty, he said.
Still, Coronado pointed out, expats are often owed a greater duty
of care by employers because they
are less familiar with the language,
culture, and the geography than
nationals are. And sometimes
country nationals may be more
similar to expats, as when a Mexican employee from one region is
assigned to a region with a markedly different culture. Companies
should avoid creating such “internal expats,” said Coronado.
Segueing from this discussion
into an open panel on issues in
Mexico, presenters and attendees
discussed topics such as cartels,
police and legal reform, natural
disasters, the increasing use of
IEDs, and the wisdom of legalizing

Emde (fourth from left) at the Annual CSO Roundtable Conference.

drugs. Several of the panelists
said that the problems in Mex ico are routinely blown out of proportion in news reports around
the world. “Do not get caught up
[worrying about] things we privately laugh at,” said Andrew Potts
of Southern Pulse, an analysis firm
that covers Latin America. Potts also
emphasized that the threat is constantly evolving. “I guarantee you,
the threat a year from now will
not be the same as today,” he said.
Despite Mexico’s “Wild West”
image, observed Fernando Gomez
Villareal, CPP, PSP, PCI, of HSBC,
it would be foolish to shun investment in the country. By 2050,
Mexico is forecast to be a top-ten
world economy, he said. And Paul
Isaac, Mexico City RSO for the
U.S. State Department, added that
companies must take a holistic
view of risk in Mexico. Investors
may find that lower legal, financial,
and other risks in Mexico, as
compared to their home countries,
more than make up for the higher
security risk.
Kidnapping and ransom commanded its own panel discussion,
with speakers noting that Colombia
exemplifies a country having success fighting this type of crime.
From the corporate
perspective in Mexico,
the biggest kidnap
concern is express kidnapping. To reduce the
threat, companies use
vetted safe taxis for
staff, increased lighting
around the facility,
and ATMs installed in
their offices, among
other measures. The
panelists also discussed
the duty of care owed
to employees both

were not aware of that connection.
In many cases, the employer will
offer the victims family services
such as psychological support,
loans, and liaison with authorities.
Greg Rodriguez of red24, who has
handled hundreds of kidnapping
retrieval cases in Mexico, also offered practical tips such as not to
use armored vehicles between Monterrey and Matamoros, since they
attract attention from kidnappers.
The final panel of the day addressed issues beyond Mexico, into
Central and South America. Jaime
Owens, CPP, of the Panama Canal
Authority pointed out that of the
25 most dangerous cities in the
world, nine are in Mexico and six
are in Colombia, Ecuador, and
Venezuela. And the homicide rate
in the region is highest in Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala,
with the former two countries
trending even higher. Still, Owens
also stressed the abundance of investment opportunities in the region, noting that many Latin American countries will trounce the
growth of the GNP of the United
States in 2012, led by Panama at a
robust 8 percent. Arturo Aceves, a
CSO at a food-ingredients company, pointed out as well that Peru,
Chile, and Uruguay showed strong
growth in 2011.

Monday. On Monday, September 19, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., the
session “A CSO’s Guide to New
Emerging Markets” will take place.
Colombia, Indonesia, Vietnam,
Egypt, Turkey, and South Africa—
known as CIVETS—may be the
next hot emerging markets. Some
analysts claim that CIVETS will
replace BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India,
and China) as key targets for foreign investment. This session will
provide a look at what these countries have in common, what their
economies are expected to do in
the next few years, and where the
business risks and opportunities
can be found. Speaker Robert
Powell, Economist Intelligence
Unit, will lead the discussion.
Monday from 1:45 p.m. to 3 p.m.
is the session “The Value of Corporate Rebels and Heretics.” Rebels—
change agents, not troublemakers—
and corporate heretics are motivated
by the ability to make a difference
within an organization. Most companies don’t know how to tap into
the value they provide, such as calling out issues that others are afraid
to mention, challenging ineffective
“sacred cow” practices, and seeing
new ways to solve problems. Session leader Carmen Medina of Deloitte, who is former deputy director of intelligence at the CIA, will
examine the role of the corporate
rebel and heretic in creating a culture of innovation and change. This
session is also open to Women in
Security and Young Professionals.
Tuesday. Tuesday, from 11 a.m.
to 12 p.m., Dawn Scalici, deputy
under secretary for analysis at the
Office of Intelligence and Analysis
at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, will lead a discussion
on a range of threats to multinational corporations titled “Discussion with DHS: Emerging Threats.”
The session will include a look at
threats to critical infrastructure and
air travel, emerging cyberthreats,
and domestic extremism.
From 1:45 p.m. to 3 p.m., the
session “Public Demonstrations: A
Security Blueprint for Shareholder
Meeting Success” will take place.
Several major companies were targeted by the Occupy Wall Street
movement and various special interest groups in the midst of annual shareholder meetings. Despite
the presence of hundreds of protesters, most of the meetings were
held without significant incident,
thanks to lessons learned from each
demonstration and advanced preparation. Kevin Smith, CPP, of Sallie
Mae, Inc., and Michael Bacon, CPP,
of Wells Fargo will share their experiences with session attendees.
Wednesday. From 11 a.m. to 12
p.m. on Wednesday, Ty Richmond,
CPP, of Sony Pictures Entertainment and Aaron Graham, CPP, of
Endo Pharmaceuticals will lead
“You’re the New CSO—Now
What?” Today’s CSOs are expected
to have the leadership, business,
and emotional intelligence to interface and operate within the C-suite.
As a new CSO, one of the key
factors leading to success is being
able to assess an organization’s processes, technology, and risk levels.
Learn the tools and steps to ensure
success in this important session.
Finally, “Where Organizational
Resilience Meets Crisis Management” will take place from 1:45
p.m. to 3 p.m. The ASIS Organizational Resilience Standard is a
powerful tool that can ensure an
organization’s ability to bounce
back after a disaster. But how does
organizational resilience mesh with
security, business continuity, crisis
management, and other vital areas
of the company? What are the
consequences if resilience, business
continuity, and crisis management
do not fall under the security department’s purview? Find out
how to lead a convergence of these
areas from Scott Watson, CPP,
Boston Private Bank & Trust Company, along with Daniel Donohue,
CPP, and Don Knox, CPP, of
Caterpillar. ◆

written as a part of the application process, Meadows pointed
out the complex role of security in
the future. “While physical threats
remain a concern,” he wrote,
“they have been joined by virtual
and systemic threats that previous
generations could not have conceived of.” Noting that security
has become an integral part of a
company’s ability to compete in
the global marketplace, Meadows
acknowledged that “education in
security and criminal justice today
is an absolute necessity for those
who wish to protect both the

PSC.3, a maturity model for implementation, and PSC.4, guidance for
maritime operations.
Asset protection. The Physical
Asset Protection Standard was developed by a technical committee
of more than 80 members from 17
countries. United Kingdom Chapter members developed the baseline document that served as the
starting point for the committee’s
work. The finished product provides a comprehensive management approach to identify, apply,
and manage physical security
measures to safeguard an organization’s assets—its people, property,
and information.
“All organizations face risk,”
states Allison Wylde, cochair of the
Physical Asset Protection Technical
Committee and course leader, MSc
project management, London Metropolitan Business School. “The
challenge is to determine how much
risk is acceptable and then how to
cost-effectively manage risk to meet
strategic and operational objectives.
This standard helps practitioners
determine the appropriate balance
between these competing demands.”
In 2010, the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security recognized the
ASIS Organizational Resilience
standard (SPC.1) as one of three
national preparedness standards in
its voluntary private sector preparedness program, otherwise
known as PS-Prep. The need for
these standards was sparked by the
events of 9-11, but other disasters
such as BP’s 2010 oil spill in the
Gulf of Mexico and the 2011 tsu nami that seriously damaged Japan’s
nuclear power plants have shown
the need for security practitioners
to have proactive plans to protect
assets as well as to respond to and

ensure continuity of operations in
the event of a disaster.
The SPC.1 provides auditable
criteria and guidance to ensure resilience of operations before, during, and after a disruptive event.
It is so popular that it has been
adopted by several European
countries and serves as the basis
for the ISO 28002 standard.
Organizational resilience. In
April, ASIS released the ANSI/ASIS
Organizational Resilience Maturity
Model (SPC.4), which provides
guidance for the implementation
of the Organizational Resilience
Standard in six phases.
“The maturity model helps organizations achieve the benefits of
resilience management by “phasing in” a system tied to their specific business needs and economic
realities,” says Dr. Marc Siegel,
commissioner, ASIS Global Standards Initiative. “Building the
management system in a phased
approach, and achieving benchmarks of maturity, provides the
organization with link between
costs and value added.”
ASIS is now working on three
additional resilience standards:
SPC.2, auditing management systems for security, preparedness,
and continuity management;
SPC.3, resilience in organizations
and their supply chains; and
SPC.5, community resilience.
MOUs. The Society has partnered with other leading standard
developing organizations to secure
broad adoption of ASIS standards.
In 2010, ASIS collaborated with
BSI on the ANSI/ASIS/BSI.BCM.1
Business Continuity Management
System Standard, and in 2011, ASIS
partnered with the Society for
Human Resource Management
(SHRM) on the Workplace Violence
Prevention and Intervention Standard. These successful partnerships
laid the groundwork for two recently signed MOUs, one for a risk
assessment standard with the Risk
Management Society and the other
for an investigations standard with
the SHRM. Work on these projects
will begin later this year. ◆

Young Professional
Interview
A
NTOINE MINOT is the
regional security adviser
for Europe and Africa at
GlaxoSmithKline.
Minot started his career in 2002 as a
consultant in France, and then later
moved to Denmark to join the AP
Moller Maersk Group, where he
worked his way up to global head
of security and HSE for Damco,
the company’s logistics branch. He
joined ASIS in 2006, serving as vice
president for the France Chapter
and later becoming chapter chair
in 2007 and 2008. Minot is currently
Antoine Minot
a member of the ASIS European
Advisory Council as the Young Professionals’ (YP) representative.
He also serves on the Young Professionals steering committee as
well as the review board of French security research magazine Les
Cahiers de la Sécurité Privée.
Q: What drew you to the security industry, and how did you take your first steps
into the field?
A: My first student job was a little
before I was 17, as a security guard.
I did this for about three years
alongside my studies, and I still see
this job as one of the best I have
ever had in my career. This is how
I learned that I wanted to work in
the security industry. In 2002, I obtained a master’s degree through a
Parisian university together with
the Institut des Hautes Etudes de
Sécurité Intérieure (part of the
French Ministry of Interior), and
started my professional career as a
security consultant.
Q: What is your role within GlaxoSmithKline?
A: I am a regional security adviser and am responsible for the
Europe and Africa region. My
role, as a member of the corporate
security and investigation team, is
to assist the business in securing
our people, activities, and assets
from a broad range of threats, in
alignment with our business objectives.
Q: What do you think are the most important attributes of successful people?
A: I think successful people are
those who ensure that they are
aligned with the values of their
company and participate in reaching the overall objectives. This
means that they are the ones who
are able to understand their business’s needs and ensure that any
action they are taking matches
these needs. This is probably an
area where young professionals can
help develop a positive impact on
the overall profession. I will also
add that the individuals who are
sustainably successful in the security area are those who also demonstrate the highest level of integrity and display unquestionably
ethical behavior. This is important
whether you are a young professional or an older one.
Q: What do you think is the biggest obstacle facing young security professionals today?
ASIS DY NAMICS
A: There are several obstacles—
certainly not just one. One of the
major challenges is to gain credibility and ensure that the organization
understands the benefits of employing a young professional as part of
a broader security team—but this
is certainly the case in all job functions. A cliché about security is
that good professionals must have
years and years of experience.
While experience is a clear advantage from which young professionals can learn, I am also firmly
convinced that young professionals
can bring a new and different perspective to the challenges of the security organization. I would also
add that, in other fields, quite a
few examples of successful young
professionals can be found: Bill
Gates started Microsoft when he
was around 20 and released the
first version of Windows when he
was 25. As a Frenchman, I should
also say that Napoleon was successful as a “young professional” He
was emperor at 35 and one of his
major victories took place when he
was 36. But he was less successful
as an experienced professional: He
was 46 when defeated at Waterloo.
Q: What would you say to a young professional considering the security field?
A: I would definitely say, “Go
ahead!” First, because the job is
great: you have to interact with a
lot of people to understand the
complexity of the organization,
and you don’t know what the next
day, or sometimes even the next
hour, will be like. Secondly, and in
particular in parts of Europe, the
profession is undergoing major
changes and is becoming a tangible
career path, meaning that those responsible for the security of their
organizations can now be recognized as company leaders adding
to the bottom line. They might
sometimes report to the highest
level of the company. There are
true security organizational structures that are being implemented
with plenty of career opportunities
for young professionals, which was
not necessarily true until recently.
Q: What is your leadership philosophy?
A: I was given a great piece of
wisdom by one of my managers
when I started working for GlaxoSmithKline’s corporate security and
investigations department: “Individual failure is not an option, because
we are a team.” This fits very well
with my own philosophy, that
leaders are not just giving instructions and hoping their objectives
are being fulfilled. Rather, they are
coaching, mentoring, and leading to
ensure that those below them are
working in a constructive environment, and that they are empowered
and provided with whatever they
need to achieve great results and
grow in the organization. The other
aspect of leading for me is that you
must never consider respect as a
given, but very much as something
you need to earn on a daily basis
through your actions and behaviors.
It can take years to earn respect
from others, but one second is
sometimes enough to lose it all.
Q: What area of the security field do you
think shows the greatest potential for
growth, and how do you plan to meet this
change?
A: I don’t think there is one single
security field that has the greatest
potential for growth. The common
factor will always be the value
this field adds to the company’s
bottom line. For instance, the intelligent use of technology to complement or reduce manned guarding
costs has proven to be a massive
area of interest in past years, and
will probably continue to be so
as companies aim to reduce their
operational expenses.
necessarily related to our daily
professional field. In that sense,
yes, it does facilitate the transnational experience.
Q: Has ASIS membership introduced
you to an international security community, and if so, has this given you an advantage in your field?
A: It has, and very much so. The
consultancy company I was working for was focused exclusively on
the French territory and I had absolutely no interaction with the international community. After a
couple of years, I discovered ASIS
and a very different vision of what
the corporate security sector was in
other countries, as compared to
France. I am not saying that it was
any better or worse, but it was different, both in the general approach
to security and around the focus
areas that are being covered. It is a
bit like speaking several languages
and understanding several cultures.
It is clearly an advantage. ◆
