The Thompson Effect: Why Executive Security Just Changed Forever

The assassination of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024 shattered the illusion of "safe anonymity" for corporate leaders. In this video, we explore "The Thompson Effect"—the rapid shift in executive protection, legal liability, and global security protocols that followed.

From a 4700% surge in security requests to landmark OSHA rulings that hold directors personally liable for workplace violence, the industry is under a microscope like never before. We also dive into the reputational risks of security "fails" involving celebrities like Teyana Taylor and Chappell Roan, and how shifting geopolitical tensions in Venezuela, Yemen, and the Middle East are creating a more volatile environment for global personnel.
