Chris Sipe Interview Chris Sipe is a physical security professional, protector, and key leader within his organization and the security industry. He specializesin public figure/high profile personal protective services such as protective operations logistics inthe film studio safety and security sectors. He is currently, managing security and logisticalsupport programs for Netflix Studio’s marketing publicity campaigns as well asother studio focused public-facing special events, globally. Chris has his hand in any number of multiple security operations globally at any given time. He is managing various aspects of securing production from start to finish on multiple venues. This requires a level of organizational leadership and management that I believe anyone listening to this podcast can benefit from, not only with regards to private security but also leadership in business as well. Consequentially he’s also a fellow Marine Corps Infantryman and so us grunts were really able to get into step very quickly on this one, good episode! The Marine Corps really does know how to impart solid leadership qualities and if the individual has a decent value system, prospective, perceptive abilities and drive then success in life becomes more than possible; it becomes probable. This episode is designed to contribute those qualities to you on an individual level and also to the industry.
