Executive Protection and the Family Office | Kate Bright

Today we welcome, Kate Bright, who started
out as PA in a family office and has gone on to have a very
successful career in the close protection industry. 


 


Because the family office is often seen as a hurdle between
protectors and a well-executed task, Kate made it a mission to
understand both sides of the equation. Already being familiar
with the workings of a family office, she decided to embark on a
journey to understand the unique role protectors provide. 


 


Now 20 years later, Kate has consulted on private security
matters for HNW clients and has created a successful business
that bridges both aspects, including setting up her award-winning
recruitment and concierge firm, UMBRA International Group. She is
also currently an advisor to the SIA board.


 


In this episode, we discuss: 


· Kate's journey from PA to CP and what she learned along
the way that can benefit all protectors.


· Strategies for more effective interfacing with the family
office.


· How we can benefit by understanding the different types of
family offices and their particular dynamics.


· The effects of COVID and the unexpected opportunities it's
created.
