Covent Consulting provides companies and organizations with security advice. This is how we help them prevent, manage and mitigate security incidents. Covent Consulting was founded by Wilfried Covent, who applies his years of experience in aviation to other sectors too.
“I am a security expert with practical experience in the aviation sector, logistics sector and police organization. In the course of my career, I have become proficient in security management, risk analysis, emergency organization and policy making. You may call me a strong professional whose main focus is security at the international level. After years of working for various players in the aviation sector, I founded Covent Consulting in 2022.”
