A new Delaware security company is carving out a niche in the executive protection field with a suite of services for female leaders and their family members.
Stand By Me Security offers statewide personal security services, property security, family protection, secure driving, event security, and private investigations. The company’s suite of services is tailored for female business executives, their children, and their parents who may need armed or unarmed protection and transportation.
As women in leadership take on greater responsibilities, their concerns about personal safety have intensified. Deloitte’s latest Women @ Work report, released in April, highlights a pressing issue: nearly half of the 5,0000 women surveyed expressed concerns about their personal safety in the workplace or while traveling for work.
Stand By Me Security responds to this critical need by offering tailored solutions that enable female leaders to manage their professional and personal lives with greater confidence and peace of mind.
“We want to ensure that female executives can focus on their careers and families without the constant worry of personal safety,” said CEO and founder of Stand By Me Security Jennifer Powell, a former police officer, prosecutor and criminal justice consultant. She was inspired to build the new firm by stories from female business executives, national crime statistics and her own experiences.
For C-suite clients, executive security is both a personal concern and a corporate matter. A senior executive impacted by a personal security threat could experience devastating consequences for themself, their family and their company.
“Balancing leadership and family goes beyond trying to be in two places at once. It’s about ensuring your professional and personal worlds are secure,” Powell said. “Our protection agents are highly trained and trustworthy.”
Clients have applauded Stand By Me Security’s approach. “They work for every client as if they are family,” said Joshua Rakhman of Vigilant International Security and Investigations. “They are your first and last stop for almost anything, regardless of the budget or the scope of services.”
Powell draws on support and advice from global security leaders such as William Presson and Mark Ledlow of the Ledlow Security Group and has a worldwide network of partners and allies. Stand By Me Security’s staff includes Marine Corps veterans, Delaware Army National Guard members and EMTs and other first responders.
