Background

About Simon Ogonya

I am a security management professional with over 19 years of experience in aviation and corporate security, leading teams and implementing robust frameworks that safeguard people, cargo, and operations. My expertise spans enterprise risk management, regulatory compliance, incident response, and quality assurance. Currently serving as Security Manager – Nairobi Operations at Mitchell Cotts Freight Kenya Limited, I have successfully reduced security incidents significantly, enhanced SOP compliance, and led multiple successful regulatory audits with zero non-compliance findings. Passionate about collaboration, I have supported multinational brand protection investigations, trained enforcement teams, and championed awareness initiatives that raise industry standards. Beyond work, I actively participate in charity marathons, tree-planting initiatives, and corporate sports, reflecting my commitment to wellness and community impact. Let’s connect! I am always open to discussing opportunities to enhance security operations and share insights on emerging threats to global aviation.
