People on the Move: April 2018 Loss Prevention Personnel Transitions

Professional advancement and building a successful loss prevention career can mean many things to many different people. For some, it may mean reaching a top leadership position at a particular company, perhaps serving as a director or VP of loss prevention/asset protection. For others, it may involve gaining experience in multiple professional fields in order to establish a unique and versatile role that capitalizes on various skill sets.

Some aspire to be the very best at a particular skill or discipline, building a base of knowledge and expertise that sets us apart from the rest. There are those who strive to leave a professional legacy, a lasting mark on the present and future of the loss prevention industry. Still others simply want the recognition that comes with reaching a particular level of performance and the security that it provides.

There are many ways to evaluate our career vision and professional aspirations for loss prevention personnel. But what is most important is that we find the path that fits us best. We need to fashion and follow a professional development plan that leads us forward and builds our future, especially when involved in a profession that is evolving as quickly as retail loss prevention.

All of us in the LP community are proud of the accomplishments of those who have worked hard and earned a new place along the loss prevention career path. Please join us in congratulating the following loss prevention personnel on their recent career moves and promotions.
