why we founded 141

141 was built to challenge the outdated and ineffective models of traditional security consulting. After years of hiring security consultants, from small bespoke firms to industry-leading agencies, I saw firsthand how many failed to deliver real business value. Too often, security is treated as a cost center rather than a strategic enabler, with misaligned solutions, recycled recommendations, and assessments that lack true insight.

We have sat in the same chair as our clients, frustrated by consultants who offered outlandish solutions that did not fit my company’s goals or culture. I have been asked what I wanted in an assessment rather than having it conducted with true expertise. Security consulting is broken, and 141 was founded to change that.

We bring deep operational expertise from military, corporate, and high-risk environments to deliver tailored, strategic security solutions that scale with your business. Our approach is direct, pragmatic, and built for impact, providing the same level of expertise that global corporations rely on without the inefficiencies and bloated costs.

141 specializes in partnering with startups and high-growth businesses that need expert guidance to build security programs that support growth, protect people, brand, assets, and operations, and create a strong foundation for long-term success. Security should not slow you down. It should help you grow.
