Boston is increasingly a focal point for coordinated activism and geopolitical discourse. Major global events, geopolitical disruptions, and periods of heightened visibility increasingly force executive protection, investigations, intelligence, and operations programs to engage all at once—often without shared context or clear decision-making. Employee activism and public protests are now frequent catalysts for these moments, accelerating risk and visibility at the same time. These situations demand faster communication, clearer escalation, and tighter coordination across security, HR, cyber, legal, communications, and executive leadership.

This session is built for senior security leaders who are designing, scaling, or refining their operating models and who are accountable not only for response, but for how executive risk is managed when leaders become public symbols, and for alignment with broader organizational communication during moments of heightened visibility.

Join Cynthia Marble and Tim Kirkham for a facilitated leadership working session using a realistic convergence scenario, structured peer collaboration, and a practical operating framework, participants will work together to:

• Understand how stronger processes and shared information enable faster alignment and business trust
• Identify where communication and coordination fracture under pressure
• Examine how security interfaces with HR, cyber, legal, and executive leadership during high-visibility moments
• Pressure-test escalation paths and decision-making when scrutiny is high and time is limited
