Founder & principal advisor
Curtis E. Jones
Strategic advisor · Speaker · Security & emergency management leader
Curtis E. Jones has spent more than four decades at the intersection of federal law enforcement, military service, emergency management, and executive leadership.
He founded The Authority Strategy on a single conviction: that the organizations best positioned to survive pressure are the ones that build resilience before they need it.
Today Curtis serves as a trusted advisor to corporate executives, government officials, and faith leaders - bringing federally credentialed expertise and real operational experience to every engagement, keynote, and advisory relationship.
The advisor
A strategic voice at the highest levels
Curtis doesn't arrive at the table as a vendor - he arrives as a peer. Appointed to the DHS Faith-Based Advisory Council in 2022, named FBI InfraGard Deputy National Sector Chief in 2021, and serving on the San Diego County District Attorney's Advisory, he has earned his seat in rooms where national security policy is shaped and organizational futures are decided.
His advisory relationships span the full spectrum: Fortune 500 executives navigating enterprise risk, government officials building preparedness programs, and faith leaders protecting their congregations from targeted violence. In each engagement, he brings the same asset - judgment forged over four decades of real operational experience, not theoretical frameworks.
The speaker
A platform built on what he's lived
Curtis speaks to what he has personally led, decided, and survived. As Senior Facilitator and Evaluator for the DSCA Exercise Series supporting Los Angeles Fleet Week, as a keynote voice on faith community security at national conferences, and as an executive workshop facilitator for C-suite teams across multiple industries - his platform is grounded in operational reality.
He brings credibility no slide deck can manufacture: the perspective of someone who has served as a Special Deputy U.S. Marshal, commanded a 900-member national security network, and briefed DHS on national preparedness strategy. Audiences don't just leave informed - they leave ready to act.
