The consultant you choose to assist you needs to be able to prove they are sincere. If you look at the written recommendations on my linked in profile, you will see many large, international corporations that trust me and Security Privateers. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime or to set up a day to get together. …Michael Scheidell, Security Privateers. |
