Trusted Leadership in High-stakes Environments
Stonehaven Risk Group was founded by Frank Elsner, a former Chief of Police and senior security executive with more than 33 years of leadership in complex, high-risk environments.
Today, he works with organizations that need senior-level experience, clear guidance, and practical solutions to manage risk and strengthen resilience.
Company Story
Stonehaven Risk Group was created to provide organizations with access to experienced security leadership without the cost and complexity of a full-time executive structure.
Many companies face increasing exposure—from workplace violence and operational disruption to reputational risk and crisis events—yet lack seasoned guidance at the leadership level.
Stonehaven closes that gap through practical advice, executive judgment, and calm support when it matters most.
