Welsh. Joined the Army at seventeen. Spent the next two decades in private security and maritime — first inside operations, then inside the compliance functions that try to keep operations defensible.
By the time most companies notice a compliance gap, it is already in the audit report. I spent years as the person reading those reports, then became the person writing the management systems that closed the findings, and walking teams through the certification audits that followed. Multiple companies, including three multi-company groups. Multiple jurisdictions. Six ISO standards in active practice.
The work taught me two things. First: compliance done well is operational, not bureaucratic. The system has to be the way the business runs, or the auditor finds the seam. Second: the work has been done by hand for fifty years, and most of it doesn't need to be. The judgment is irreducibly human. The execution is not.
Talon Global is the practice that combines both — twenty years of inside-the-sector judgment, paired with disciplined AI direction. The output is the same audit-grade work, delivered in weeks where it used to take quarters.
