Hermann is a former Mountain Ranger and was trained by the German police in the Department of Personal Protection before working internationally in the intelligence sector of the state. He has been a business owner of a specialized security company for more than 20 years.

When Hermann was contracted to work for the Amazing Race - travelling through 10 countries per race, and a total of 80 - he quickly realised there was a need for better cover - whether it be medical, safety or security. He was often left dealing with situations where he needed on-the-ground or immediate help and it took too long or wasn’t available. To ensure his own safety, Hermann reached out to professional colleagues and created his own back up and support system - and thus began the start of the Global Security Card. Believing that everyone deserves to have someone they can reach out to and find guidance, help or direction, the Global Security Card offers their clients this, all around the world.

Throughout Hermann’s professional career he has successfully prevented three government-level assassination attempts, spearheaded the creation and implementation of new security standards for the show The Amazing Race and it’s international iterations and has been an invaluable asset to multiple global celebrities. His operational experience in intelligence and psychology complements his areas of expertise. He possesses extensive training in security technologies, programs, surveillance and disaster management.
