Biographical Notes:

Andy Williams is Co-Global Head of Security for Nomura, with specific responsibility for EMEA and the Americas.

A demanding role which served as Andy’s apprenticeship in Security Management, requiring as it did, wide open public buildings, their patients, staff and visitors, to be kept safe and secure with the limited budgets.

When the opportunity to move back into in-house security presented itself early in 2009, Andy didn’t hesitate to accept the challenge.
