In this episode, I speak to Chris Phillips the Managing Director of International Prepare and Protect Security Office (IPPSO). I worked with Chris in the United Kingdom when he was the Head of the National Counter Terrorism Security Office responsible for the UK Crowded Places Strategy based within the Centre for the Protection of the Critical National Infrastructure (CPNI).
Chris has provided consulting advice and support to a number of blue-chip companies, for example, Aon Crisis Consulting, Marks and Spencer, 3M, Sodexo, Honda UK and Regester Larkin. He has represented the UK government in a number of countries as a Counter-Terrorism expert and has developed and trained many Police, Military and Business people in Counter-Terrorism.
He has a vast experience of risk and crisis management, with an enviable reputation for delivery at both an operational and strategic level.
