ABOUT THE OWNER/FOUNDER

Derek Flint brings 40 years of security management and intelligence experience across law enforcement, government and the private sector at local, national and international levels.

His background spans high-level crisis and incident management, risk and threat assessment, and the safeguarding of critical infrastructure, personnel and sensitive information.
He has led operations against serious organised crime and violence, working alongside international partners and government agencies to identify and mitigate complex threats.

At ProFound, this grounding in risk, resilience and the assessment of complex situations and information informs the judgement he brings to the business.
