Lynda brings a combination of significant end user and consulting experience to our team. As a consultant, she has 25 years of experience in providing security risk assessment, CPTED and operations review, master planning, physical security design, policies and procedures development, and training services. As an end user, Lynda directed state and national security divisions for a major financial institution and was the Director of Security for a real estate development firm specializing in high end retail. Her expertise lies in her understanding of security programs across a broad spectrum of facility types and how to best apply programming to meet client needs. Her approach of thorough fact-finding and evaluation of threats, risks, vulnerabilities, critical issues, and applicable standards allows her to craft solutions appropriate for a facility’s internal and external risks and the capabilities of its security program.

I believe that effective security is never one size fits all. Every environment presents its own culture, risks, and operational realities, and every project is an opportunity to listen, learn, and collaborate. My approach is grounded in partnership by working closely with clients to understand their mission, people, and priorities, and translating that understanding into practical, sustainable security solutions. Each engagement strengthens not only the outcome for the client, but also the collective knowledge carried forward to inform future projects, continuously improving how we protect people, property, assets, and operations.
