Brad is the Managing Director of Operations at Portman Square Group, a global intelligence and strategic advisory firm.  A seasoned expert in international security affairs, business intelligence, commercial diplomacy and political risk, Brad leverages global reach and privileged insight to guide investors through market entry and complex deals, helping clients to understand risk so that it can be managed rather than avoided, and to ultimately get deals to ‘yes’ when others might only get to ‘no.’

Brad spent 14 years at oil & gas major, BP, most recently as the company's Vice President of Intelligence & International Advisory.  He built and led a comprehensive global intelligence capability responsible for guiding some of the company's most significant headline deals, entering some of the world's most challenging security and political environments, solving some of the company's most complex problems, and keeping the company's people and operations safe and resilient.  

Before BP, Brad spent nearly a decade in national security roles with the US Government.
