Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Lees is a seasoned loss prevention and safety leader with over three decades of experience designing enterprise security, asset protection, and safety programs across retail, telecom, and distribution. As Director of Loss Prevention & Safety at Republic National Distributing Company since 2012, he blends investigative rigor, risk mitigation, and data-driven process improvements to reduce organizational loss and enhance resiliency. His background spans frontline security in the USAF to corporate roles at Nordstrom, The Home Depot, Verizon, and Disney, giving him deep operational and cross-functional leadership chops. Christopher holds advanced degrees in Administration of Justice and Organizational Security, and he leverages that academic grounding to embed best practices and compliance into pragmatic programs. Unusually for a security executive, he also explores offensive-minded problem solving on GitHub—interested in game development and “breaking” systems—which informs his creative approach to vulnerability identification. Based in California, he is known for turning complex security challenges into measurable, repeatable outcomes that protect people, assets, and brand.
