Bill Peeler is the Founder & CEO of Peeler Group International, a leading global provider of secure transportation and related protection services to multinational corporations, family offices, and non-governmental organizations.
A former law enforcement officer with a unique background & understanding of the law, Bill has planned, managed, and participated in protective security operations ranging from Solo Practitioner assignments and small team details to large-scale, multi-discipline operations that required integration of in-house and contract personnel to mitigate and manage the risks faced by multiple, high-profile Principals.
