As a Kroll consultant, I specialize in Enterprise Security Risk Management, Security Governance Strategy, and Organizational & Leadership Development.I consult across industries. Based on the size, maturity, and risk requirements of a business, I act as a fractional CSO or fractional Director of Security to help them organize their security efforts around a measurable strategy and grow the maturity of their programs.Primarily, I meet with and interview the C-Suite, Board of Directors, and Senior Management of companies to review their Risk Management & Governance portfolios and help them identify and understand the Security Risk which exists within the business. I then help them understand the type of strategic approach to managing this risk through proper governance, process, and program management.Through this process, I recommend security programs and operations which can have a meaningful impact on the security risk within their enterprise portfolio, while creating alignment around the value proposition which can be monitored by the business and metrics and KPIs can be built around it.

Tim Wenzel is the Creator & Co-Founder of The Kindness Games. 2020 was a disruptive year, marked by a culture war which our Leaders & Media used to fuel division among us. To Tim, this resembled an ideological Hunger Games, in which we were made to battle artificial enemies.The Kindness Games was created to counter-program this culture war, to give people the option to choose to unite their spheres of influence, heal their communities, and change the world by Leading With Kindness. Tim is a thought leader, transforming the paradigms of leadership and risk management across industries, empowering people to show up intentionally, ready to make their world and the people around them better than they found them.#TheKindnessGamesDuring these times of tension and a complete lack of appetite to have empathy for our fellow humans, let's each do our part to outdo one another in targeted acts of kindness to people we know, love, work with, or maybe just met. Purposely invoking the Hunger Games theme... What if we ferociously pursued shout outs of kindness instead of shouting to be right? What if we chased down the people we know are hurting, so we can lift them up to the world for how beautiful and amazing they are?What if we gave a damn about each other... and pledged to show it?Will you attempt one video captured kindness to someone in your sphere of influence for the next 30, 60, or 90 days? Even if you you only posted once a week for 30 weeks? Will you LEAD the healing of your community? www.thekindnessgames.com

What began in 2013 as a simple TSCM program for 2 conference rooms, became a physical data & IP risk management program which grew to encompass over 100 spaces globally including labs, conference rooms, event spaces, homes, and vehicles. We grew from a team of 1 to having full-time personnel located in every major geographic region of the world, implementing a world class Enterprise Security Risk Management portfolio which supported every major line of business at Meta. We worked with facilities to set appropriate construction standards for high risk spaces according to documented risk thresholds and tracked/documented changes over time along with the root causes of the change. We developed programmatic solutions which served Meta's C-suite, executives, and their highest risk employees.When COVID-19 sent everyone home and turned all business functions remote overnight, this team led the thought leadership effort to understand how critically sensitive business functions could be done remotely, what policy & programmatic changes were necessary, and we built an education suite aimed at the executives and their staff, which was quickly rolled out to remote New Hire Orientation and the entire Augmented/Virtual Reality organization.We integrated with Crisis Management operations, M&A, Policy & Legal, Product, Engineering teams, among others.We worked cross-functionally on Physical, IT, and Cyber security risk assessments, red-team exercises, and incident response/investigations.We created a program which identified the risk to information loss via corporate espionage, theft, and insider threat; analyzed and optimized our environments so that we could understand when vulnerabilities were able to become threat vectors and why, so we could anticipate and mitigate according to the risk appetite of the company.

This change in role coincided with both the change from Facebook to Meta and Privacy Protection's realignment from the Executive Protection organization to Global Security Intelligence & Investigations (GSII), Protective Intelligence organization.

Special Projects has grown to support Global Security's strategic initiatives worldwide. I've built a peer reviewed, industry leading IP Risk Management program at Facebook.Identifying “at risk” Intellectual Property around the globe and designing programs to track and manage that risk is my current challenge. My team designs global programs that mitigate security risk by educating the business and allowing them to make informed decisions about the risk they own. Over the years, I have become a builder of boutique security programs which creatively manage risk while driving business value. This enables Facebook to safely perpetuate its brand.

As a consultant, Tim created the following programs for Facebook: • EP Residential Security • EP Special Projects Management & Development• Global Security's Specialized Technology & Methods R&DIn October 2015, Facebook brought Tim in-house to manage and mature these programs. He built the Residential Security & Technology R&D programs to the point where they became stand alone programs and were reorganized within Global Security to be led by other people. In 2017, one of the programs in Tim's Special Projects portfolio had a significant increase in demand from Facebook Leadership, which necessitated building this IP Risk Management program to a global scale.

After the attack on the Benghazi consulate, my team was assigned to build a new program called Foreign Affairs Counter Threat 2.0 (FACT version 2). The Congressional Accountability & Review Board on Benghazi commissioned this course to meet all the training requirements for diplomatic personnel traveling to high threat posts. Some of my accomplishments were:➢ Auditing processes and training programs as part of the Post Benghazi Review➢ Designing and implementing training programs and dynamic exercises that were mandated and overseen by the Congressional Accountability & Review Board for Benghazi➢ Teaching situational & cultural awareness, surveillance detection, and security concepts to diplomatic personnel in a way they can apply during their daily routine➢ Explaining the value of DSS security programs and policies to create voluntary compliance and participation within the Diplomatic Corps

I taught for the Diplomatic Security Service at the US Dept. of State. My initial program was the Iraq Field Immersion Training (IFIT). We taught diplomats how to be safe in Iraq and to use the security policies and programs in place. Essentially, we trained them how to be a protected person. Some of my accomplishments were:➢ Explaining DS security programs and policies to create engagement within the Diplomatic Corps and fostering collaboration with security teams and management➢ Teaching situational & cultural awareness, surveillance detection, and security concepts to diplomatic personnel in a way they can apply during their daily routine

I worked on a variety of projects with Black Ice. This allowed me to experience a broad range companies, cultures, and protective strategies. Some of my experiences include:➢ Workforce Downsizing➢ High Risk Termination➢ Workplace Violence Mitigation➢ Residential & Estate Security➢ Residential & Estate Event SecurityMost of this work was low profile in nature. It gave me the opportunity to observe protective strategies and how people react to them. These experiences were instrumental in further developing my understanding of human behavior & tendencies. I use these lessons to develop security solutions that encourage voluntary compliance and make anxiety and frustration standout from the baseline of normal I’ve created.

I protected a foreign diplomatic family living in Northern Virginia. This involved working out logistical details as they relate to travel, school, high profile events, and variations in threat level. Some of my experiences were:➢ Developing Risk & Vulnerability assessments of residences, venues, cities, and events➢ Monitoring the family’s threat profile in light of public opinion, political, & world events➢ Performing advance security surveys; documented findings and recommendations➢ Using discretion while working inside of the residence➢ Coordinating with the family’s staff and assisted them with projects and logistics➢ Coordinating with Embassy and US State Dept. personnel to ensure smooth operations➢ Implementing intelligent security measures to counteract a major spike in threat level due to an International IncidentThis project provided insight into how an ultra high net worth household functions with the daily influence of International Politics. I also had the opportunity to learn some excellent lessons about effective Leadership, Management, and Team Building. This learning environment actually spawned the idea of True Leadership, which is a concept that I am developing. True Leadership is based on principles that achieve results as well as create a culture of trust and excitement within the team.

Working in EMS helped develop my critical thinking skills as I learned to reason through problems while under pressure. This directly contributed to my success as a soldier & security professional. I also began to develop my style of leadership while working in a dynamic team environment.As an Instructor I taught:➢ CPR/AED for healthcare providers➢ First Responder ➢ Mass Casualty Incident response➢ Mentored EMT-Basic and Paramedic studentsI experienced the spectrum of human behavior as I was injected into the lives of others during crisis. I developed a sense of constructive empathy as I learned how to gain voluntary compliance from people who are sometimes not thinking clearly. This is also where my passion for victims of violence & abuse was ignited.I have worked for several ambulance services including:➢ Star Ambulance➢ Freeport Rural Fire Dept.➢ Lanark Fire Dept.➢ Tri-District Ambulance➢ Mt. Carroll Ambulance

My work with GORGRP was two fold. I operated aid stations and was a security team medic.I provided primary medical care for contract personnel working in Iraq. Depending on the site I provided care for between 45 to 2,000 personnel. My patients were from the US, Europe, Africa, Middle East, and Asia. It was interesting to diagnose and treat "exotic" diseases that are not commonly seen in the US such as Malaria and Dengue Fever. I was also a security team medic for teams who performed various protective security operations in Iraq. Functions included base defense, convoy, PSD, and work site security. I assisted Site Security Managers with designing and implementing security projects that kept US Military Bases secure. I was a lead instructor for many training functions that included tactical medicine, security operations, weapons & tactics, and ethical work practices.I was always the lone representative of GORGRP at my sites. I worked independent of direct supervision and was selected on many occasions to manage sites that were experiencing problems. I developed a reputation within the company as a problem solver who reliably delivered results. I was able to mature my leadership and management abilities since I was the sole agent between GORGRP, the client company, and the US Government.
