From Law Enforcement to the Boardroom with Brian K. Tuskan
In this episode of Fed Time Stories, hosts Dave Brant and John Gill sit down with Brian K. Tuskan, a law enforcement veteran turned Fortune 500 chief security officer, to explore a career defined by adaptability, risk-taking, and an early embrace of technology. Brian reflects on his formative years as a police officer and detective, where leveraging emerging technology helped him stand out, earn sought-after assignments, and rethink how investigations could be done more efficiently.
The conversation follows Brian’s pivotal decision to leave law enforcement and transition into corporate security at a time when few were willing to take that leap. He shares candid insights on what it means to go “all in,” the cultural and mindset shifts required to succeed outside government, and why understanding business is just as critical as understanding security.
Brian also discusses his leadership journey within global organizations, the evolution of the chief security officer role, and how technology—including today’s rapid advances in AI—continues to reshape security, risk, and opportunity. Throughout the episode, he offers thoughtful advice for professionals at every stage of their careers who are considering what comes next.
