Kate Bright: From PA to Elite Bodyguard and Award-Winning CEO
Manage episode 402468990 series 3553927
Kate Bright is Founder and CEO of award-winning UMBRA International Group: the home of secure lifestyle.
UMBRA are making more than waves. Recently featured in Forbes, listed in Tatler’s Little Black Book, and with a heavy shelf of accolades, they're on a mission to bring a fresh, inclusive approach to the security industry.
Alongside an impressive career in a fiercely male-dominated sector, Kate is a leading industry voice and is passionate about giving back. She proudly sits on the British Army Gender Advisory Council; is ambassador for two Veteran charities; and is a member of the Worshipful Company of Security Professionals and a Trustee of their Charitable Trust, as well as the Security Institute. These are just to name a few of the many hats she wears.
As a Chartered Security professional and Close Protection Operative (of which only 5% are female), Kate stands out in all the right ways. Under Kate’s leadership, UMBRA continue to grow globally, driven by a strong sense of purpose and Kate’s passion for building a kinder, more inclusive world.
In this podcast, Kate and Jonny de Mallet Morgan, CVO at FROM:TODAY, talk about her journey to where she is today; the concept and meaning of success; and why building a diverse, high-performing, purpose-driven team is critical to success.
We guarantee Kate’s passion and drive will teach, energise and inspire you to think more than a little differently.
Enjoy.
