“These judges have been appointed based on a combination of strong recommendations and are award winners themselves in their respective fields.” Lead judge Grant Lecky
Lead judge Grant Lecky, co-founder of the Security Partners Forum, has appointed a 28-strong judging panel with eclectic expertise spanning the eight influencer categories.
A new category is being introduced for 2019: ‘One to watch’, which spotlights security professionals who’ve made a big impact in a relatively short career.
Grant Lecky commented: “We have a whole new panel of distinguished judges for 2019 from across the globe, and just like last year, these judges have been appointed based on a combination of strong recommendations from across the security and fire industries, and are, of course, award winners themselves in their respective fields within our shared industry.
“Many of the judges have themselves appeared among IFSEC’s influencers in previous years and with the new category, ‘One to Watch’, being introduced, these judges could hardly be better positioned to identify the current and future generations of influencers coming through.”
Lecky himself featured among the IFSEC Global influencers in security and fire in 2014 and 2017, has featured on the Canadian Who’s Who and, most recently, won the Bill Zalud Memorial Award for professional excellent/outstanding service in the security profession.
The 2019 influencers will be announced in the IFSEC Security Briefing (which you can register for here) in the early part of May 2019.
You can network with some of the influencers during a meet-and-greet session at IFSEC International, 18-20 June 2019, ExCeL London, in the ASIS Lounge – date and time to be confirmed.
