TorchStone Global Welcomes Renowned Entertainment Security Specialist Nina Hobson as Executive Protection Manager

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, April 9, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- TorchStone Global, a premiere security firm, is proud to announce that Nina Hobson, decorated former British Police detective and bodyguard to the stars has joined the firm’s Sports & Entertainment Division as Executive Protection Manager. Renowned as one of the most highly sought-after protection specialists, Nina ensures unparalleled security for the world’s most influential figures. This appointment also marks a significant milestone in an industry where female expertise remains rare, reinforcing TorchStone Global’s commitment to excellence and attracting top-tier talent to address the varied needs of its celebrity and high-net-worth clients through forward-thinking solutions and continuous innovation and evolution.

-A Proven Track Record of Excellence-

Nina Hobson brings over 30 years of experience from her 15 years of distinguished service with the British Police and two decades in elite private security. During her career with the British Police, Nina gained experience in high-stakes security and led high-profile investigations into murder, rape, kidnapping, and child abuse. After transitioning from law enforcement, Nina emerged as one of the preeminent bodyguards, safeguarding A-list celebrities, high-net-worth individuals, and their families worldwide in an otherwise largely male-dominated protection industry. Her keen situational awareness, impeccable judgment, sound security knowledge, and investigative skills allow her to anticipate and neutralize potential threats before they arise and adeptly manage stalking behavior. Highly respected by her peers and a seasoned leader, Nina was notably leading an all-male team of executive protection officers for one of the world’s most iconic celebrities prior to stepping into this role with TorchStone Global, which places her in a more influential position and will enable her to contribute to the industry on a larger scale.
