About Ian E.

As a former Law Enforcement Analyst at Meta, I applied my technical criminal investigations skills to support the Trust & Safety team in responding to legal requests and protecting the integrity of the platform. I also leveraged my experience as a Senior Police Officer at the City of Austin and a Patrol Officer II / Narcotics Officer at the LAPD to conduct threat assessments, risk analysis, and incident response for Meta\'s global operations.In addition to my law enforcement background, I have a passion for entrepreneurship and wildlife conservation. I am the Principal Owner of Forseti Ventures, Inc, a security consulting and management company that provides off-duty protection details for events and venues in Central Texas, as well as executive and celebrity protection services. I am also a Team Member at VETPAW, a non-profit organization that empowers post-9/11 U.S. veterans to train park rangers and support communities in Africa to combat poaching and preserve endangered species. With a Master of Business Administration from Bristol University and a Bachelor\'s Degree in Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services from the University of Phoenix, I have the knowledge and skills to develop and execute effective business strategies and foster strong relationships with clients and partners.
