Alexander K. Sørensen

Director, Client Security Services

Alexander works with crisis management, travel security and training for organisations operating internationally.

In meetings with clients, he focuses on open conversations about security approach, procedures and the human factor. Do we understand our role? Can decisions realistically be taken under pressure. Is the organisation is willing to learn and exercise?

A large part of his work revolves around designing and delivering HEAT courses and crisis exercises together with Guardian’s instructors. His focus is always on the audience: who is in the room, what decisions they are likely to face, and what behavioural outcome the training should lead to.

In recent programmes, this has meant adjusting scenarios to reflect current operational environments and ensuring that exercises trains judgement, communication and leadership. 

Colleagues describe him as structured, direct and calm. In workshops and exercises, he prioritises clarity and tempo, while leaving space for reflection and dialogue. He believes good security work is built on preparation, shared understanding and continuous learning.

His background in the Danish Army influences his approach to structure and responsibility, but his work today is defined by collaboration, practical facilitation and building trust with the people he trains and advises.
