From Manhattan to the Serengeti: How Ascot Privé Managed a U.S. Family’s Protected Safari Through Dubai and Into the Wild.
When an American family decided to pause their busy routine and explore East Africa, they didn’t want a packaged itinerary. They wanted a journey that felt considered, safe, unique to them, and free from the pressures that often accompany international travel with children. From their refined departure in Manhattan to four nights at Dubai’s Jumeirah Al Naseem, and then on to a private safari experience in Tanzania, Ascot Privé was engaged to manage every stage behind the scen

Behind the Scenes, Ahead of the Threat: Supporting the World’s Most Discerning Clients with Personal Security and Risk Advisory.
Risk today is rarely obvious. It moves quietly, often out of view, and it impacts far more than physical safety. For the families, executives, and private clients we support, reputation, privacy, and day-to-day continuity matter just as much as protection. At Ascot Privé, our Personal Security & Risk Advisory services are built on decades of experience—not on templates, not on noise, and not on dramatic posturing. Everything we deliver is intentional, intelligence-led, and sh

Understanding the Unique and Often Sensitive Needs of High-Value People and Families — From Two Decades of Discreet, Global Support.
Working with affluent families has been at the heart of my career for more than two decades, and it’s a space I’ve come to value deeply. I began in personal and family security, where trust, judgement, and discretion were non-negotiable. But over the years, something interesting happened. These families started relying on me for far more than physical protection. I became a trusted advisor, a problem-solver, and in many cases, the person they could count on when everything el

Protective Advisory & Global Movement Insights
Davos: Safe by Design, Challenging by Reality — Security, Risk, and Decision-Making at the World Economic Forum.
A lot is said about how secure Davos is during the World Economic Forum . And in many respects, that reputation is deserved. There is a significant security presence layered throughout the town. Access routes into the valley are controlled. There are checkpoints on approach roads. Inside the town, you’ll see a mix of local police, federal units, specialist teams, and additional resources brought in specifically for the event. Alongside that sits diplomatic security for world

The Hidden Cost of Influence: How Social Media Visibility Creates Exposure and Risk for Individuals and Families.
Social media has reshaped modern visibility. It has created global brands overnight, turned private individuals into public figures, and blurred the line between personal life and public consumption. Influence today is no longer associated with just celebrities — entrepreneurs, athletes, executives, and everyday individuals can all command significant attention. What is discussed far less is the risk layer that comes with this visibility. Not reputational risk. Not brand risk

“But Nobody Knows Who We Are”: Why Wealthy Families Are Becoming Proactive — And Why Waiting to React Is the Biggest Risk of All.
For years, one sentence has echoed through the private rooms, quiet offices, and boardrooms of wealthy families whenever the subject of security, exposure, or protective strategy is raised: “But nobody knows who we are.” It is a belief rooted in a different era — a time when anonymity was easier to preserve, when homes were local, travel was infrequent, and the boundaries between private life and the outside world were more defined. But that era is long gone. What remains is

The Human Side of Wealth: Redefining What It Means to Support the World’s Most Discerning Families with Risk Mitigation.
You can have everything—global real estate, private jets, legacy investments, foundations, elite advisors. But if you don’t have clarity , continuity , and quiet control , then you’re not truly wealthy. You’re simply exposed. Over the past two decades, I’ve walked alongside and addressed the concerns of some of the world’s most influential families. And I’ve learned this: The most serious threats aren’t the ones on the front page. They’re the ones no one talks about. They hid

The Illusion of Anonymity and The Unknown: How Families of Wealth Can Become Targets Without Even Realising It.
“We’re not public figures.” “We don’t post online.” “No one even knows who we are.” I hear this often — from UHNW families, advisors, private staff, and executives. On the surface, it makes perfect sense. If you’re not splashed across the press or chasing followers, you’re assumed to be ‘low risk’. You’re private. Discreet. Protected by anonymity. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: Risk doesn’t require fame. It only requires visibility — and the wrong kind of attention at th

Why Families Need Risk Leadership, Continuity Planning, and Discreet Oversight — To Protect them at Home and During Travel.
When something goes wrong, most families and their advisors immediately focus on response. They look for experts, try to plug the gaps, and work to contain whatever has already been exposed. But once you’re reacting, it’s already too late. The damage — whether to safety, reputation, or long-term stability — has already taken root. Across more than 25 years and over 100 countries, working with governments, multinational organisations, and some of the world’s most private famil
