About our Organization

The Society for International Executive Protection (SIX) is a global, non-profit force multiplier for professionals operating at the highest levels of executive protection. Founded in 2019 by Melvin Key, Chairman of the Board, SIX has evolved into a worldwide network of more than 250 vetted members, with growth accelerating year after year.
SIX is not just a membership. It’s an ecosystem.
We unite elite close-protection professionals to connect, collaborate, and raise the industry standard. Members gain access to trusted resources, real-world operational intelligence, business-development opportunities, and a powerful global network that opens doors to details, contracts, and long-term careers.
Our membership represents the full spectrum of executive protection, private, corporate, and government agents and agencies, aligned by a shared commitment to professionalism, accountability, and excellence.
Beyond individual professionals, SIX is trusted by international corporations, FBOs, and entertainment companies to identify, vet, and recommend qualified protection talent. We help verify credentials, certifications, professional standing, and reputation, because in executive protection, trust is not optional.
If you’re serious about executive protection, and serious about your future in it, SIX is where professionals align, reputations are strengthened, and opportunities are created.
