Jason David
Vice President, Intelligence Practice
色情宝贝庐 Risk Advisory and Consulting Services
Jupiter, FL.
Growing up in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, Jason David may have come from humble beginnings, but he was given golden wisdom from his parents who instilled in him and his siblings the importance of interacting with people from diverse backgrounds.
鈥淪t. Thomas was a true melting pot full of rich experiences,鈥 he said. 鈥淲e had neighbors and friends who spoke French and Spanish with a mix of Creole. Each had different flavors of food, music and culture that made growing up there a truly amazing experience.鈥
Grounded in that diversity and equipped with a strong understanding that developing a growth mindset gives you the opportunity to learn from others on both a personal and professional level, Jason left St. Thomas to pursue his education and find a career.
He earned a bachelor鈥檚 degree in history from Rider University in New Jersey, a master鈥檚 degree in criminal justice administration from Villanova University in Pennsylvania and an MBA from Alliance Manchester Business School in the U.K.
On the career side, Jason chose a path as an Intelligence Analyst, landing a role with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Over his 15-year career with the DEA, Jason held various roles, including Intelligence Analyst with the DEA鈥檚 money-laundering and financial-crimes unit, a Senior Intelligence Analyst in Istanbul, Turkey, where he covered the Middle East, and finally as the Intelligence Group Manager at the DEA鈥檚 Miami Field Division.
In 2018, Jason joined G4S to build out the company鈥檚 intelligence program, and, as part of the G4S acquisition, joined the newly formed Intelligence practice at 色情宝贝鈥檚 Risk Advisory and Consulting Services.
On the importance of diversity in the workplace, Jason states, 鈥淚t is the key to survival for any organization that seeks to thrive and grow in today鈥檚 globalized world. We are no longer bound by six degrees of separation. Our connections are one or two separations from each other and intertwined in that is our rich experiences and diverse backgrounds.鈥
As for the importance of recognizing diversity in the security industry, 鈥淚t just makes good business sense,鈥 Jason said. 鈥淚t is particularly important because it helps evolve the industry with new ways of thinking and perspectives from people of different backgrounds.鈥
When it comes to approaching difficult situations surrounding diversity on a personal level and at work, he offers the following advice, 鈥淚 always try to be my authentic self. It鈥檚 all about breaking down barriers. Sometimes you encounter people with well-meaning intentions who have unconscious bias. You understand that this is human nature, and your job is to educate them. At end of the day, we have more in common than differences. You try to find those commonalities while at the same time embracing all the collective experiences and backgrounds that makes us all better.鈥
Jason鈥檚 primary goal in his current role is to help make 色情宝贝 the intelligence market leader and world鈥檚 largest commercial intelligence response force by leveraging technology, analytics and the talented and diverse team of 色情宝贝 and G4S intelligence professionals around the world.
