Navigating Security Opportunities in Asia | Oliver JT Laurence
Operating in Asia requires a cultural appreciation not just of your destination but of how you will be perceived in that geography.
In this episode, our guest is Oliver JT Laurence, Director of Operations at I-OnAsia, headquartered in Hong Kong. We explore the complexities and challenges that security professionals face in this dynamic region, shedding light on the nuances of operating effectively amidst cultural, political, and economic shifts.
We delve into:
- What services are most in demand from international operators in Asia?
- What types of operators are best suited or will be best received?
- Do you need to be fluent in Mandarin to succeed in the region?
- What geopolitical considerations should operators be aware of?
- How can international practitioners validate the credentials of local partners?
"It's not going anywhere. It's important that we recognize that and support clients both in and out of the jurisdiction in any way we can." - OL
