WAYNE DECOSTE

With over 15 years of global experience in executive protection and estate security, I have led and built programs for C-suite leaders at places like Amazon, Facebook, TikTok, and other Fortune 100 companies. My work spans more than 30 countries, where I’ve advised ultra-high-net-worth families and their teams on implementing proactive, scalable security strategies tailored to complex residential environments.

From designing full-spectrum protection plans to recruiting and training elite security teams, I’ve helped some of the world’s most prominent households align lifestyle needs with operational resilience. My approach blends discretion, structure, and deep relationship management, ensuring that principals and staff are equally supported across all planning and response phases.

At EMC25, I’ll share insights from this work, focusing on human-centered emergency preparedness. I'll offer Estate Managers actionable frameworks to assess people-related risks and lead confidently through care coordination, medical response, shelter-in-place scenarios, evacuations, and more.
