For Kristine Raad, Vice President of Security and Safety at Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, experiences outside the security domain have helped to sharpen her skills and elevate her career as a security professional.
“My background is engineering, and I learned early that engineers aren’t always effective in their communications,” she says. “When I was in college, I volunteered to be an editor for an engineering newsletter. That experience helped me to hone my writing and communication skills. I also learned how to interact with professionals that were in higher-level leadership roles.”
