Calculated Risk: Leadership When Failure Is Not an Option
Tuesday April 28, 2026 11:15am - 12:15pm CDT
Music City Center
At 13,000 feet, there is no room for debate. The decision is go--or no-go.

Drawing from competitive skydiving, high-altitude mountaineering, and Fortune 500 security advisory experience, Matthew Alarif connects extreme environments to the realities of corporate security leadership. This session explores how to make high-stakes decisions with incomplete data, why disciplined adherence to SOPs saves more time, and how to build team that trust each other when it matters most.

When the margin for error disappears, leadership becomes clarity, preparation, and the courage to say "no."
