Career Success in Large Organizations | Chaim Roberts

How can you scale yourself from an 'army of one'? What does the
corporate security world have to teach solo operators about being
in more places at once?


We are pleased to welcome Chaim Roberts, founder
of Roberts Risk Solutions to help us understand that large
organizations have more challenges than the initial corporate
culture adaptation we might expect. They often have a much larger
physical footprint than EP colleagues might be used to in a UHNW
or private environment and many of the skills developed to
survive and thrive in such an ecosystem translate very well to
the wider protector space not least when developing a business.


On today’s episode, we’re going to take a deep dive into working
in one of the most high profile large sites in the world, the New
York World Trade Centre. We’ll also be asking…


To what extent do we need to replicate ourselves when leading
security in large organizations and facilities?

How can corporate protectors succeed without a 'traditional'
military or police background?

Do staff actually require more motivation when spread out in
a large corporate environment?

How can you blend your security operations into the
environment seamlessly?

Is the SOC the glue that can hold together large operations
in buildings with a large footprint?

How can you balance protection with being open and inviting
as an attraction?
