Executive biography

This is the current text. Where a printed version differs, this page is correct.

Scott Wilcox advises international investors, boards and family offices on entering and operating in complex markets: understanding the risks a market presents, deciding what is acceptable, transferring what is not through insurance and other structures, and building operational resilience across logistics, security, operations, and government and community relations. He also advises boards on their exposure and liability in those markets.

He founded Sicuro Group in Dubai in 2005 and ran it for twenty years, across the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean. He remains a shareholder.
