Just before war broke out between Russia and Ukraine, Andrew Pratt had an alarming realization: The senior leadership in his organization, Siemens, was receiving intelligence from different departments, which was not always aligned.

In this episode of Back to Source, Andrew - who is currently serving as Situation and Intelligence Analysis (SIA) Team Deputy and Senior Analyst at Siemens AG - discusses the steps they took to break down internal silos, and increase communication and coordination between different teams. He also explains how they have fostered relationships with intelligence teams in other companies, and how this has benefited their own operation.

Andrew joined Siemens following a decade of military intelligence experience. Based in Munich, he ensures the delivery of high-quality intelligence products and oversees two regional responsibilities.

The interview is hosted by Paolo Napolitano, Senior MENA analyst at Dragonfly.

What makes a good leader in corporate security?

Sam Roper is Director of Enterprise Security Operations EMEA at Netflix, where she oversees all aspects of the corporate security program.

She also explores the challenges of returning from maternity leave - or any other career break - into a senior position. What happens when the person who covered your position now has to work for you? And how do you deal with the knowledge that you are, literally, replaceable?

Sam has more than 15 years of experience in the security industry, from security consulting to in-house roles at major global companies in the tech & entertainment sector. A large part of her career has focused on the Middle East and Africa.
