Life Safety Alliance Announces Top 40 Global Thought Leaders in Security and Life Safety
Summary
This new honor represents an effort to bring enhanced objectivity, transparency, and rigor to the process of identifying influencers and thought leaders in the field. An honorary award was granted to Andrii Lukashenko in Ukraine, who demonstrated extraordinary dedication to thought leadership while also serving in Ukraine’s armed forces in its war against Russia.Candidates scores were calculated using a proprietary algorithm based on a variety of criteria, including conference presentations, webinar and podcast appearances, LinkedIn reach, courses taught, volunteer leadership positions held, among others, covering the period of January 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024. A formula weighed these criteria and issued a final tabulation.After reviewing the credentials of hundreds of professionals in the life safety and security fields, LSA reached out to almost 200 candidates whom it identified as among the most prolific and active thought leaders in the industry. “It was an extremely competitive process, with so many of the candidates sharing impressive evidence of influence and thought leadership.”Those who made the list will receive an LSA challenge coin commemorating their achievement as well as a virtual certificate.George Bish, LSA Board Member and Co-Chair of the Membership Committee shared, “We would like to acknowledge the truly remarkable thought leaders in our industry, not only those that made the top 40, but the many others who enrich our community, offer insight, and provide value. Our mission is to be a worldwide resource and authority on best practices for the Security and Life Safety industry through collaboration with trade associations, academic institutions, and members in areas of standards, professional development, technology innovation, research, and certification.
