I would reckon that it’s because these people are incredibly well-protected. Once you reach an executive office at the large companies I’ve worked for, you have to live in a giant compound because of the size of the detail of elite security forces that must accompany you at all times. I’m talking 40+ people paid by the company, ex-special forces. These details do entire building security sweeps ahead of the CEO, checking for bombs, bugs and other threats. The board mandates that you have this protection.
Thank you for sharing. The boards for the companies I’ve worked for mandated security detail for C levels. I’m gonna go ahead and posit that this board will now mandate as well.
Agree in the respect of home security and any kind of corporate mandated security. If you are rich and/or live in a rich neighbourhood, you’ll need all the protection you can get to deter burglars. Also, corporations in particularly egregious industries like health insurance probably deal with threats on a regular basis.
Disagree because I think a big part of why corporate execs aren’t usually targeted is that they keep a relatively low profile outside of their jobs and aren’t typically public facing unlike more household names like Taylor Swift, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, Nicolas Cage, Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Joe Biden, etc. There are probably a lot of senior managers, big corporate execs and millionaires hiding in plain sight.
I’m sure a lot of people from Florida know who their governor is (Ron DeSantis) but not who the CEO of Carnival Corp & plc is (Micky Arison.) Only people who are really invested in that industry in some way would know, which is why figures like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are rare exceptions.
Even the level of security that current and former Presidents of the United States get are not infallible. Donald Trump was almost assassinated twice in this year’s campaign alone.
I think you are making good points here. I don’t think most corporate execs have that kind of detail, I agree that it’s likely more public-facing or in industries like healthcare, insurance, banking, real estate, law - any industry that can directly ruin people’s lives. To that point, if this company never had security details for their CEO, I am also surprised this hasn’t happened sooner.
