Howard Zumbrunnen
Co-Founder & Principal Consultant
With over 11 years of specialized experience in physical security technology, I have built a reputation for delivering operational excellence across diverse industries and organizational scales. Primarily serving clients throughout the West Coast, my career has spanned supporting small businesses, hospitality operations, and Silicon Valley tech companies including Google, where I have tackled complex security infrastructure challenges and ensured seamless system performance in mission-critical environments. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Cyber Security Management and Policy from University of Maryland University College, which provides a strong foundation for understanding the intersection of physical and digital security landscapes. My expertise centers on troubleshooting advanced technical issues within sophisticated security systems, from access control and video surveillance to integrated security platforms. I thrive in high-pressure situations that require both deep technical knowledge and strategic problem-solving to maintain the integrity and reliability of physical security operations.
Beyond hands-on technical work, I have demonstrated exceptional leadership in developing and scaling support teams and programs specifically designed for physical security systems. Over the course of my career, I have successfully managed teams ranging from 15 to 30 professionals across five distinct programs, building operational frameworks that ensure consistent service delivery and technical excellence. Through developing these capabilities, I have helped organizations strengthen their security infrastructure while establishing sustainable support models that drive continuous improvement and operational resilience.
