Today’s leadership roles often demand mobility across jurisdictions, time zones, and operational environments. Whether representing an institution, advancing organizational priorities, or participating in high-visibility engagements, principals operating across geographies face a range of risks that merit strategic consideration—not tactical instruction.

The Simon Agency’s Protective Intelligence for Executive Travel advisory engagement provides structured, intelligence-informed insight to support leaders and their teams in anticipating travel-related risk, aligning protective awareness with mission priorities, and making informed decisions before and during movement.

This is not a travel “safety course.” It is an engagement grounded in analysis, experience, and judgment tailored to the contexts in which principals operate. Our focus is on elevating leaders’ situational awareness, enhancing planning decisions, and shaping actionable intelligence that supports executive continuity and duty-of-care without operational distraction.

Advisory components may include pre-movement briefings, issue spotting based on destination risk environments, insights into cultural, legal, and political factors that influence principal exposure, and guidance on how protective considerations integrate with broader travel and operational plans.

Engagements are led by senior advisors with expertise in risk analysis, protective intelligence, and executive decision support. Our practitioners have advised principals operating under complex geopolitical conditions, supported leadership during sensitive international engagements, and contributed insight that informs high-stakes travel decisions.

Who This Engagement Supports

Protective Intelligence for Executive Travel is designed for:

• Corporate executives and board-level principals
• Elected officials and senior public leaders
• University and institutional leadership on global missions
• UHNW principals and family office leadership requiring discrete advisory support

Focus Areas

Engagements are tailored to client requirements and may include:

• Pre-travel intelligence briefings customized to location and context
• Risk considerations tied to political, cultural, or security environments
• Decision support for protective posture aligned with mission and priorities
• Integration of protective insight with executive scheduling and movement plans
• Strategic guidance on escalation protocols and contingency awareness

Engagement Structure

This advisory engagement is conducted through discrete briefings, preparatory consultations, and scenario-aligned discussions tailored to the principal’s schedule and objectives. Rather than “training,” the engagement emphasizes intelligence understanding, anticipation, and decision and planning clarity.

Deliveries may occur on-site, through secure virtual platforms, or as part of broader advisory relationships. All protective intelligence engagements are treated with discretion, aligned to client governance frameworks, and structured to respect confidentiality and operational sensitivity.

The objective is enabling leaders to make informed decisions about their movement and exposure—so they operate confidently, responsibly, and with clarity wherever they serve.
