AlertMedia, the world’s leading threat intelligence,
emergency communication, and travel risk management provider, today
announced Jeff Dean has joined the company as Vice President of
Global Intelligence Operations. In his new role, Dean will leverage
his extensive experience gained over 35 years in physical security,
risk management, and crisis management leadership roles to enhance
the depth and breadth of AlertMedia’s coverage of the global threat
landscape.
“Jeff has spent his entire career delivering actionable
intelligence and advice, helping leading organizations develop and
mature how they navigate and respond to an increasingly volatile
world,” said Sara Pratley, senior vice president of global
intelligence at AlertMedia. “We are thrilled to have him on board
and look forward to the deep expertise he brings to our team and
will provide to our customers.”
Dean joins AlertMedia from Databricks, Inc., where he served as
the Senior Director of Physical Security and Employee Safety.
During his tenure, he spearheaded the creation of a standardized
platform for physical security systems to enhance asset protection
and pioneered a company-wide risk awareness program to deliver
crucial information and recommended countermeasures to safeguard
Databricks’ employees and operations.
Prior to Databricks, Dean held various security leadership roles
at multiple organizations, including Citrix, Arrow Electronics,
Securitas, and Pinkerton Security Services, where he played a key
role in implementing comprehensive risk management programs. At
Citrix, Dean established and scaled a global security program to
safeguard personnel, assets, and operations while building four
‘centers of excellence’ focused on global security operations,
organizational resilience, occupational health & safety, and
security intelligence and analytics. Earlier in his professional
life, Dean also served in the United States Marine Corps as a
counterintelligence officer, directing the planning, briefing, and
execution of counterintelligence operations and investigations for
the Department of Defense, among other duties.
“AlertMedia has rapidly become the industry’s preeminent source
for timely, accurate, and nuanced intelligence about emerging risks
occurring around the world,” said Jeff Dean. “I am excited to help
support the organization’s mission to help keep people safe and
look forward to working with the global intelligence team to
continue delivering the level of service our customers have come to
expect.”
