Rory Steyn is an accomplished former-member of the South African Police force. 

During his service he specialised as an investigator, intelligence field-worker and as section head of the police VIP Protection and Bomb Disposal Units in Johannesburg. When he was transferred to the Pretoria-based Presidential Protection Unit in 1996, Mandela appointed him leader of his personal protection team, in a step towards reconciliation and healing for South Africa.

The day after Mandela’s presidency ended, Rory retired from the South African police force as a Lieutenant Colonel and set up his own security consultancy, NSA Global. 

NSA Global Security Consultants is now South Africa’s largest executive protection employer counting Fortune 500 and blue-chip companies among their clients. Through his consultancy Rory has worked at some of the world’s largest sporting events. He also founded The African Icons Invitational in 2018, a charity cycle ride that raises funds to support the children of police officers slain in the line of duty.
