IFSEC Global has appointed Grant Lecky, co-founder of the Security Partners Forum, to lead the judging process for the ‘Top influencers in security and fire 2018’.

Lecky, who himself featured in IFSEC Global’s list of top influencers in 2014 and 2017, brings a wealth of industry experience and an extensive network of global contacts to the role.

He will help to appoint a diverse range of respected industry experts and thought leaders to the panel of judges and to coordinate the nominations and judging process.

Grant Lecky commented: “I want to thank IFSEC for this great honour and privilege of serving in this capacity. Having won my share of awards and accolades – including having been named to the IFSEC Global Most Influential list on more than one occasion – I think now is the perfect time to ‘send the elevator back down’, so to speak, and help highlight those across the UK and the rest of world who are making a difference in the security and fire domains.”
