David Kovacic Email & Phone Number

I am a highly motivated security professional with field and management experience in Africa in highly challenging security environments. Over the last three years I have gone from leading a 140-man strong guard force in Liberia, a complex post-conflict area, to managing a 256-man strong security team at one of the largest mining sites in Zambia and the surrounding region. In this capacity I have drafted countless reports, SOPs and risk assessments for the benefit of top management and security stakeholders. I have helped with the acquisition of new contracts and their implementation for the company, trained guard and CCTV staff and have led and participated in perimeter security, access control, anti-poaching, patrol and ambush, intelligence-gathering, surveillance and convoy and VIP escort missions in addition to managing the logistics to ensure continuity of operations for such a large security project. The progressively richer practical experience in the field gained over the last three years in rough surroundings has complemented my academic background and bolstered my skill sets and knowledge base. At Sciences Po Paris, ranked 5th worldwide in International Relations and Security Studies, I learned a great deal about my current operating environment's historic, cultural and political complexities as well as how to use my writing and oral skills to competently and convincingly engage decision makers in order to convert my recommendations into tangible results on the ground. I am constantly on the lookout for more challenging and fulfilling experiences anywhere in the world.

Listed skills include Security, Security Management, Security Audits, Risk Assessment, and 14 others.
