Gow & Partners Global Security Practice plays an exceptional role in matching top level security personnel with clients needing this expertise. Our international team of consultants has unparalleled depth and breadth of highly specialized experience and knowledge in this practice area.

Our unique Global Chief Security Officer Practice focuses on the ‘new breed’ of Chief Security Officers; those who understand global strategy, global operations and global threats. While a Global CSO may draw upon prior experience in law enforcement or the military, he or she also brings a strong understanding of business fundamentals and has the know-how to achieve business objectives. The Gow & Partners Global CSO has the ability to minimize risk so that the CEO and the Board of Directors can stay focused on profitability rather than vulnerability. We work with our clients to assemble a security management team that understands the client’s business environment, recognizes the risks they face, and knows how to mitigate those risks. Our approach yields reliable results.

We assist our clients in ways that broadly-focused executive search firms cannot. Our expertise and understanding of security and investigation issues is unsurpassed, and we utilize our knowledge, network and insights making each search individualized.

Just as the landscape for security has changed dramatically in the wake of the September 11th attacks in the U.S., and the recent subway bombings in London, so have the investigative needs of businesses evolved in the wake of financial scandals in publicly traded companies and large scale data breeches and identity theft. Gow & Partners works with clients who are adding to or upgrading security and investigative programs in response to an increased need to protect corporate assets, people and reputation.

Gow & Partners proprietary database contains thousands of candidates, representing many disciplines, specialties and areas of expertise. It reflects the multi-disciplinary nature of security and investigation and contains Chief Security Officers and all levels of security management including:

Threat assessment professionals Security technologists Brand protectors with anti-counterfeiting/diversion expertise Anti-fraud and financial investigators Anti-money laundering and compliance specialists Forensic accountants Computer forensics and cyber investigators Investigative researchers Consultants with business development capabilities

Gow & Partners’ database is constantly expanding, and our global practice draws on international and domestic market contacts and industry sources to identify the best-qualified candidates. Our consultants will assist in structuring appropriate compensation packages, as well as completing extensive reference checking to ensure that the individual has the skills and experience that are required. We know who and where the top people are, what they can do and have done, and how they can work for your organization. Once the new hire is in place, our lead consultant remains available to support a successful integration into the client’s team remaining in contact for as long as is needed to ensure complete success.
