New episode examines how continuous learning, career mobility, and human-centered leadership are shaping the future of the security workforce

PARSIPPANY, N.J., June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Securitas USA announced the release of a new Security Connected: North America webcast/podcast episode focused on workforce education, career development, and the evolving role of frontline security professionals in an increasingly technology-driven industry.

The episode features Chrissy Toskos, Chief People & Experience Officer at Securitas, alongside Bijal Shah, CEO of Guild, discussing the recently announced partnership between Securitas and Guild to expand access to education, upskilling, and career pathways for frontline employees across North America.

As the security industry continues to evolve through advancements in data, intelligence, and technology, the conversation explores why organizations must invest not only in systems but in the people responsible for protecting communities, infrastructure, and businesses every day.

The discussion highlights how the partnership is designed to remove barriers to education while helping employees build durable skills such as critical thinking, communication, adaptability, and leadership. The episode also examines how workforce development is becoming increasingly tied to resilience, retention, and long-term organizational growth.

“When you think about education as infrastructure, you realize that our talent and our people are our primary infrastructure,” said Chrissy Toskos, Chief People & Experience Officer at Securitas. “As our industry evolves, continuous learning becomes essential, not just for career growth, but for helping people build confidence, adaptability, and long-term opportunity.”

Throughout the episode, Toskos and Shah discussed how the future of security depends on balancing technology with human expertise. While AI and automation continue to transform operations, the conversation reinforces the importance of keeping the “human in the loop”, ensuring security professionals remain central to judgment, decision-making, and trust.

The episode also explores broader workforce trends, including growing employee expectations around professional development, internal mobility, and employer investment in long-term career growth. By creating accessible pathways for advancement, the partnership aims to strengthen both employee experience and organizational resilience.

“Continuous learning is becoming critical in every industry because the skills required for the workforce are changing so rapidly,” said Bijal Shah, CEO of Guild. “The ability to combine technical capabilities with human-centered skills like empathy, communication, and problem-solving will be increasingly important in the future of work.”

The episode reinforces Securitas broader commitment to intelligent, human-centered security, demonstrating how workforce investment and education are becoming foundational to the future of protection and operational excellence.

HOUSTON, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP continues to bolster its Public Finance & Infrastructure Practice with the return of Carey R. Troell as a shareholder in its Houston office. He rejoins the firm from Cantu Harden Montoya LLP.

“Few attorneys are as familiar with the evolution of our Texas Public Finance & Infrastructure Practice as Carey, who was part of the team during its early years nearly 20 years ago. He now returns to a Houston office that is home to one of the elite public finance and infrastructure practices in Texas and beyond,” Greenberg Traurig Executive Chairman Richard A. Rosenbaum said. “Carey’s service as a former Texas assistant attorney general and extensive background in public finance bring a unique perspective that further enhances our capabilities in this important area. His return follows the recent additions of Public Finance & Infrastructure Shareholders Taylor Klavan and Clark Stockton Lord and reflects our ongoing commitment to strategically growing and building premier teams in the markets and practices that matter most to our clients.”

Troell serves as bond counsel to state and local governmental entities throughout Texas, structuring financing transactions for counties, school districts, cities, utility systems, regional mobility authorities, housing finance corporations, tollway authorities, colleges and universities, hospital districts, water districts, and other public and quasi-public institutions. He also represents nonprofits, for-profit issuers, financial institutions, and underwriters in public finance matters.

“Carey is a highly regarded practitioner whose experience spans many of the sectors and institutions that help drive growth and development across Texas,” Public Finance & Infrastructure Practice Co-Chair Franklin D.R. Jones Jr. and Houston Public Finance & Infrastructure Shareholder Adrian Patterson said in a joint statement. “He combines technical public finance knowledge with a practical understanding of how transactions are structured and managed. Carey is an outstanding addition to our Public Finance & Infrastructure Practice, adding considerable depth to our team and enhancing our ability to serve clients on their most important financing and infrastructure matters.”

Beyond bond counsel engagements, Troell serves as underwriter’s counsel, trustee’s counsel, and bank counsel to financial institutions, and as disclosure counsel, issuer’s counsel, and general counsel to local government entities and nonprofit corporations. His representation extends to related areas affecting public finance transactions, including Texas election laws, open meeting laws, political subdivision governance, federal income tax, and federal securities laws.

“Returning to Greenberg Traurig is both a professional and personal milestone. The firm has demonstrated a long-term commitment to Houston and Texas, building a nationally recognized Public Finance & Infrastructure Practice that is exceptionally well positioned for the future,” Troell said. “I look forward to working with Frank, Adrian, and our outstanding public finance team to expand our capabilities, serve clients on their most important matters, and help cultivate the next generation of lawyers.”
