MICHAEL DE GEUS
Special Consultant
As a former Special Agent with the United States Secret Service, Michael served for nearly twelve years across the Los Angeles Field Office and Washington, D.C., earning assignments to both the Presidential Protective Division and the Counter Surveillance Unit. In those roles, he executed hundreds of domestic and international protective advances, safeguarding the President of the United States, foreign heads of state, and dignitaries at events ranging from United Nations gatherings to World Leader Summits. His operational expertise spans multi-agency coordination, facility hardening, command-and-control structures, and integrated physical and cyber threat mitigation at the highest levels of national security.
Following his federal career, Michael served as Director of Security for Redrock Entertainment, leading safety and security operations for the entertainment industry’s most high-profile domestic and international events. He managed 550 or more security personnel across events with audiences exceeding 70,000 attendees, implemented access control and surveillance systems, and coordinated with local, state, federal, and international law enforcement. A standout achievement: personally securing the Fast X premiere at the Colosseum in Rome, a complex international operation requiring seamless multi-agency coordination and crisis readiness.
Michael has also served on the Board of Directors for Neptune Wellness Solutions, a publicly traded company, providing governance oversight, enterprise risk management, and executive leadership support through significant organizational transition. He was appointed Interim CEO, demonstrating leadership depth well beyond the security arena.
