Bryan Niederhelm has been advising the world’s most influential people and enterprises for the past couple decades, helping them navigate a wide-range of high-stakes decisions. Much of this experience was gained during Bryan’s work at what is arguably the most distinguished security and consulting firm on the planet, Gavin de Becker & Associates, where he serves as Senior Vice President. Here Bryan leads and coaches a team of experts who are also managing a variety of risks on behalf of their clients.
Bryan will never speak of his work that has the greatest impact on the lives and livelihoods of his clients. However, his radical commitment to confidentiality is what earned Bryan rare perspectives and opportunities to gain mastery. As a way to spread this wisdom, Bryan created a playbook for high-stakes decision-making, The Uncertainty Paradigm, which has applications across myriad aspects of life, leadership, and risk.
Bryan also served as a Staff Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. During his tenure, Bryan was part of the Embassy Security Battalion, responsible for the security of US Diplomats and Top Secret information in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan and Jerusalem, Israel. In these roles he provided security support for the US President and led the Marine security teams assigned to the Vice President and Secretary of State. Earlier in his career, Bryan served as an Infantry Platoon Sergeant and as an instructor at the Jungle Warfare Training Center in Japan.
