Stormy Waters Group, Llc

Stormy Waters Group is a boutique security consultancy founded by Claude Poole, a 25-year veteran of federal law enforcement with global experience in diplomatic security, travel risk management, and crisis response. Throughout my career, I’ve supported missions in complex environments across the world—helping people and organizations operate safely, make informed decisions, and maintain continuity under pressure. Today, I offer consulting and advisory services to clients navigating a range of security challenges, from organizational readiness to international travel planning. Based in Southwest Florida, Stormy Waters Group supports select engagements with a focus on practical, real-world solutions. I’ve worked with faith-based organizations, community leadership, and professionals preparing for global operations—helping them assess risk, strengthen protocols, and build confident, resilient teams. My approach is proactive, discreet, and grounded in decades of lived experience, not theory. Security concerns don’t always come from volatile regions—sometimes they stem from uncertainty, lack of planning, or unfamiliar terrain. Whether you’re preparing staff for international deployments, evaluating your crisis response posture, or building a security-minded culture, I bring calm, clarity, and trusted insight to help you move forward with confidence. Let’s connect if you’re looking for experienced, thoughtful guidance on navigating risk—abroad or at home.
