Security leadership is business leadership viewed through the lens of risk.

Craig Parker is a global security executive and strategic risk advisor whose work has taken him across hundreds of facilities and nearly every function of a complex organization. He has led enterprise security through major expansions, facility projects, investigations, workplace threats, supply chain disruptions and crises involving people, operations, customers and reputation.

That experience has given him an unusually broad view of how risk moves through a business. A real estate decision can become a security and compliance problem. An HR decision can change the threat environment. A change in operations, technology or facility design can create an exposure no one recognizes until the consequences appear somewhere else.

Craig believes security belongs at the forefront of good business operations, not at the end of the process after the important decisions have already been made. His work focuses on moving the profession beyond tactical response and establishing security as a strategic function that helps organizations make better decisions, operate more effectively and grow responsibly.

In The Risk Readout, Craig examines the risks organizations miss, the decisions that create them and what experienced leaders see before those risks become consequences.
