About

Hi, I'm Tracy, the CEO of Organisational Genetics.

I know all about toxic workplaces and how they damage workforces.

As an HR expert of more than 25 Years, I've experienced bullying first-hand as Director of Human Resources at a world-famous NHS Hospital Trust.

As a whistleblower determined to highlight a damaging culture of enforced silence, I was threatened, persecuted, and eventually driven out of my job. And it didn’t stop there.

But what I learnt from these horrendous experiences and my subsequent campaign for justice was that I was not prepared to turn away. I was determined to fight for the truth – for justice – and to help others in similar situations.

More importantly, I wanted to prevent them from happening again. As a result, I have created systems to make raising concerns easier and that can also support the work of independent, external bodies.

My work helps organisations create a more open reporting culture, prevents individuals from being victimised or suffering retribution and ensures that a talented, committed workforce is retained.

My team and I help companies and organisations: 

✅ Manage risk

✅ Reduce harm

✅ Promote respect through hi-tech live intelligence 

To promote a healthier and more productive working life.

Connect with me and find out more, I am honoured to help.

Dan Kaszeta is a specialist in defence against chemical, biological, and radiological weapons and warfare. Although he has lived in London since 2008, the first part of his career was in the United States. He earned a BA in Political Science and Russian language from Texas Christian University. After graduation, he was commissioned as an officer in the US Army in the small but highly skilled Chemical Corps. Dan was honour graduate of his lengthy training course at US Army Chemical School.

He subsequently moved to Washington DC and was awarded an MA in International Affairs from George Washington University. The Tokyo Sarin attacks in 1995, combined with scarce chemical weapons expertise, meant that in early 1996 he took up the post of Disaster Preparedness Advisor at the White House Military Office, where he had responsibility for chemical and biological preparedness and training for the office of the President. After the 9/11 attacks and the anthrax terrorism, the responses to which he was heavily involved in, Dan transferred to the US Secret Service, where he joined the team protecting the President and the White House complex from chemical and biological threats.

In 2008, Dan relocated to London. From 2008 to 2011 he worked for Smiths Detection, managing their chemical warfare detection business in Central and Eastern Europe. Since 2011, he has been an independent security consultant and author.

He is the author of numerous articles and his recent publications include: ‘CBRN and Hazmat Incidents at Major Public Events: Planning and Response’ (Wiley, 1st ed 2012 2nd ed 2022), ‘Toxic: A History of Nerve Agents’ (Hurst, 2020) and ‘Forest Brotherhood: Baltic Resistance against the Nazis and Soviets’ (Hurst, 2023). Mr. Kaszeta has been selected as a Writer-in-Residence at Gladstone’s Library for 2024.

BIO

I am a recognised authority on the strategic management of complex events, particularly within a multi-agency crisis management framework. I offer a combination of doctoral level academic research and teaching, strong commercial, operational and project management experience, and government-level and C-Suite consultancy across SE Asia, Middle East, Latin America and East and West Africa. 

I hold a doctorate in security and risk management from University of Portsmouth, writing my thesis on alternative command & control frameworks for strategic management and critical decision-making in complex crisis environments. I am currently a Lecturer on the International Security Masters programme at Berlin School of Economics and Law, and Visiting Lecturer at the University of Gloucestershire Business School, having previously been a Visiting Lecturer and Dissertation Supervisor on the Leicester University ‘Security, Policing and Terrorism’ MSc programme, and a Visiting Lecturer on the Strategic Leadership programme at Cranfield University, where I lectured on terrorism and public policy, and strategic management of complex operations. From 2022-'23 I was a Professor in the United Nations University for Peace European Centre for Peace and Development (Belgrade), where I headed up the Strategic Risk and Crisis Management programme. 

I specialise in the management of hypercomplex systems associated with city management and critical national infrastructures. I am a member of the UK National Preparedness Commission, and was a founding member of the London Resilience Gold Command Crisis Management Project Academic Advisory Group. 

In 2019 I launched the Institute of Strategic Risk Management, which was designed to create a space where academics, practitioners and policymakers could come together to discuss the critical issues facing us on a planetary, national and community level. That now has thirty-five International Chapters, works with some of the largest organizations in the world, and is recognised as an institute of significance and influence.

In 2023 we launched the Centre for the Study of Wicked Problems, a global think tank with thirty-plus participating partner institutes. Its launch programme is an 18-month research and policy-development project concerning Global Urban Resilience.
