Why did I develop the program?
Many years ago, my own expat experience began in Johannesburg. At first, I encountered the city with mixed, rather negative feelings. It took almost two years until that changed.
During those two years, I got lost countless times, threw several navigation devices out of the window out of frustration, only narrowly escaped a carjacking and regularly had to convince my small family not to leave the country in a hurry. Added to this was the burden of my professional obligations.
Those two years were full of stress, outbursts of anger, frustration and doubt. Then something decisive changed: We had finally settled in. We understood what was “normal” in Johannesburg, knew the right places and contact persons and had created an environment in which we felt comfortable.

Expatriate Protection and Integration Program
These personal experiences, combined with over 20 years of professional experience in close protection, security and international expat support, led to the development of the Expatriate Protection and Integration Program.
The Expatriate Protection and Integration Program offers a holistic solution that goes beyond classic consulting, training and individual assignment services. My goal was to develop a program that accompanies expats and their families from the beginning — gives them orientation, creates security and enables integration, so that the host country becomes a new home.
A benefit for companies, expats and families.
