Currently working with Exlog Global, a veteran-owned risk solutions provider, Stan draws on his extensive expertise to help clients mitigate risks and protect their people and assets.

Bragg (now Fort Liberty), NC, and working across 25+ countries, including Pakistan, Ukraine, Nigeria, and Mexico. His areas of expertise range from journey management and intelligence to maritime security, covert investigations, and insider threat solutions. Stan and Bex discuss how the travel risk management industry has evolved over the years, particularly in how people source information. Social media has transformed the way risks are assessed, but Stan emphasises the importance of focusing on the risk, not just the threat. He encourages critical thinking by asking questions such as “Yes, but what else?” and consistently challenging assumptions with “Why?”.
