Alicia Alfani, Founder & CEO | Greyhaven Advisory

Meet the Founder Of

GREYHAVEN ADVISORY

Insight. Clarity. Confidence.

Greyhaven Advisory was founded by Alicia M. Alfani, a former Fortune 500 corporate physical security leader who understands what it takes to manage security from inside an organization.

Before founding Greyhaven, Alicia led corporate security operations in a complex, regulated, multi-site environment. Her responsibilities included guard services, a 24/7 security operations center, security technology, executive protection, and major security investments.

She has sat in the client’s seat: setting priorities, managing providers, making investment decisions, responding to incidents, and working across internal teams to put security strategy into practice.

That experience shaped Greyhaven’s focus. Effective security requires clear ownership, practical governance, coordinated providers, and an operating structure that supports daily execution.

Through Greyhaven, Alicia helps organizations build, implement, and govern physical security programs. She also collaborates with the security specialists serving those organizations to connect their expertise with the broader program.

Her earlier experience in public accounting, internal audit, and insurance brings an additional perspective on controls, accountability, financial discipline, and executive reporting.

PERSPECTIVES ON PHYSICAL SECURITY, PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION, AND LEADERSHIP

@greyhavenadvisory

You don’t always need a full security assessment. Sometimes, you just need to know where you stand.

That’s why I created the Greyhaven Security Program Snapshot.

Many organizations have invested significantly in physical security—technology, personnel, policies, and procedures.

But here’s the question:

Is your security program actually working the way you think it is?

The Greyhaven Security Program Snapshot is a focused advisory engagement designed to help business leaders better understand their existing security program without committing to a lengthy, comprehensive assessment.

The goal is simple:

✦ CLARITY — Understand where your program stands today.

✦ PERSPECTIVE — Identify what deserves leadership attention.

✦ DIRECTION — Determine what comes next.

Because investing in security is one thing. Knowing whether those investments are delivering value is another.

🚨 Guarding companies & security integrators — this one’s for you.

Ever wish you had someone on the client side who actually understood security?

Someone who can help align stakeholders, navigate internal roadblocks, support decisions, and keep the program moving after the contract is signed?

That’s where Greyhaven comes in.

I’ve sat in the client’s seat. Now I can help your clients from that side of the table.

🤝 If you have a client who could use that kind of support, send me a DM. Let’s talk about how we can work together.

Day 2 at #GSX2026

Day 2 was filled with great conversations, new connections, meetings, and opportunities to exchange ideas with people from across the security industry. The energy throughout the week was incredible!

One of my favorite parts was connecting with other women in the field. There’s something pretty powerful about women supporting women—sharing experiences, opening doors, making introductions, and genuinely cheering each other on. 🖤

That spirit of collaboration was such a great reminder of what makes this industry special. We’re better when we connect, share ideas, and help each other succeed.

Grateful for the conversations, the relationships, and all the energy that came with GSX. Already looking forward to what comes next!

GSX 2026 | Day One ✨

A full day of conversations, connections, new ideas, and seeing where the security industry is headed.

One of my favorite parts of this industry is the collaboration — bringing together operators, consultants, integrators, technology partners, and security providers to solve real problems for clients.

That’s also a big part of why I built Greyhaven Advisory.

After years of leading corporate security from the client side, I now help organizations — and the security partners serving them — bridge the gap between strategy and execution.

Because the recommendation is only the beginning. Making it work is where Greyhaven comes in.

Insight. Clarity. Confidence.

The best security solutions don’t operate in isolation.

A company can invest in guards, cameras, access control, perimeter protection, new technology—or all of the above.

But the investment is only part of the equation.

Who owns it? How does it fit into the broader security strategy? What policies and procedures support it? How is performance measured? And how do different providers work together toward the same outcome?

That’s where Greyhaven Advisory comes in.

I partner with security providers, integrators, manufacturers and consultants to help their clients build the governance, operating structure and implementation framework around those solutions.

I’m not there to replace the experts providing the solution. I’m there to help build the program that allows their expertise to deliver the strongest possible outcome.

Because when the program works, the technology works better. The providers work better together. And the client gets more from every security investment they make.

The technology. The people. The perimeter. The program that connects it all.
