With a focus on innovation, exceptional customer service, specialized training and top-level project management, Monterrey has been trusted to secure international and high-risk events, while also providing detail services for world leaders.
Still, he has ensured that Monterrey Security’s local focus remains strong, both in work with neighborhood businesses and support for community organizations.

A former member of the Chicago Police Department, Juan built the foundation for the security and service techniques Monterrey Security staff employ every day. He has built the company around an operating philosophy of protection, prevention and service, believing that the best protection comes through prevention.

He has also taken steps to ensure that foundation includes a strong focus on guest services, as that can not only provide for a better customer experience, but also enhance the security environment.

Under Juan’s leadership, Monterrey Security has received numerous awards, including Hispanic Business Magazine’s list of 100 Fastest Growing Companies in the U.S., and has earned the trust of operators of National Football League, Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer and NCAA stadiums and arenas, as well as dozens of cultural institutions, music festivals, small businesses and banks.

Today, Juan leads the company’s board of directors and also all of the company’s civic and philanthropic efforts. He is a member of the Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Hispanic American Construction Industry Association and the International Association of Assembly Managers.

Dan has been instrumental in building and implementing systems to streamline Monterrey’s 24-hour security operations, policies and training. He has earned a series of promotions and now oversees operational functions carried out by our various teams. He has also managed our growth in multiple markets and expansion into multiple states. He also has a leadership role in senior-level client relationships, community partnership initiatives, contract fulfillment and compliance. 

Dan has earned a national reputation for his leadership in the security industry, having led operations for some of the most iconic public facilities and events in the nation, including the NATO Summit, Lollapalooza, the Chicago Marathon, NFL Draft, Chicago Cubs and Chicago Blackhawks Championship rally, as well as stadium events including the Chicago Bears, Rolling Stones, Taylor Swift and many others.

 

He is a member of ASIS International, the National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security (NCS4), the International Association of Venue Managers (IAVM) and the Illinois Security Professionals Association. He also maintains a multitude of certifications through the Department of Homeland Security, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. 

 

Every day, Daniel instills and upholds Monterrey Security’s belief: “Through training and prevention, we base our success on what didn’t happen today.
