About Kevin Govender

I am versatile and successful executive with a wealth of knowledge and security expertise acquired across a wide range of demanding roles within an ever-changing environment. Over 20 years’ experience in the Security and Cash Logistics sector in the field of Operational and Financial Management, coupled with 14 years of extensive specialised police investigative experience. A proven track record of heading up an entire CIT Operation, and now seeking the next challenging opportunity to demonstrate substantial abilities and make an effective contribution in a successful end user team. Through the various challenges and role functions within the current business, and being assigned to assist failing businesses, I see myself as a Business Turnaround and Risk Specialist in taking businesses to the next level.
