FEP Brief 029 — ESOC 2026

Matt François, Founder & CEO of François Executive Partners, attended the Executive Security Operations Conference (ESOC) in Orlando, connecting with industry leaders and exploring the future of executive protection.

The key takeaway: the profession continues to evolve beyond traditional close protection.
Today’s most effective protection strategies require integrated planning, collaboration across disciplines, and a proactive approach to managing risk.

At François Executive Partners, this evolution is reflected in the FEP Standard: a commitment to preparation, precision, and protection designed for today’s leaders.
