Crisis Incident Consultant: KIMS International
A distinguished Senior Crime Intelligence Officer (Lt. Colonel) with over 23 years of experience at the intersection of human psychology and tactical intelligence. My career is defined by the philosophy that “behavior reflects personality,” an approach I have used to dismantle complex criminal patterns and lead high-stakes negotiations.
Armed with a background in Psychology from the University of Stellenbosch and elite SAPS certifications, I specialize in translating raw data into “anticipatory intelligence.” Whether identifying supply chain vulnerabilities through GIS mapping or managing high-level corporate risks through behavioral profiling, I provide strategic decision support that prioritizes the preservation of life, assets, and reputation.
