He has a government background in immigration and border security; has served as a diplomat; and in the military. He is editor of three magazines including the New Zealand Security Magazine. In this podcast you will hear Nick discuss the distinct challenges being faced by the New Zealand security sector. In a largely low crime country private security struggles for recognition reflected by the fact that it is governed by relatively little statutory legislation. You will hear Nick discuss he is own thoughts on how professionalism can be enhanced; the process of influencing change; and the threats and opportunities posed by AI. You will also hear Nick’s response to the three questions we ask all our guests:  1. Which person has most influenced you? 2. Which book has most influenced you? 3. What is the priority issue the security sector needs to focus on to change for the better? #SecurityThoughtLeadership #securityinconversation
