Lucy Love: Blending Creativity, Strategy & Security Globally

Lucy Love's dual identity as a professional is the first thing that people notice about her. Part strategist, part writer, part corporate leader, part British cultural observer, part director of security communication from the United States.

Lucy represents a new generation of professionals who refuse to fit into a single category in a world where multidisciplinary thinking is becoming increasingly necessary. This combination may seem strange at first, even rare.

Lucy is currently the Director of Marketing for ROWAN Security and Banyan Risk Group, two reputable U.S.-based companies engaged in integrated security operations, risk consulting, and intelligence analysis.

Both positions require discretion, accuracy, cultural sensitivity, and a thorough comprehension of how communication shape perceptions in fields where trust is determined by clarity.

However, this is just one aspect of Lucy. In addition, she is a writer, cultural critic, digital storyteller, and the creator of The Culture Capsule, an online journal that explores contemporary identity, creativity, and societal change. She is presently working on a collection of poems and her debut novel, which will strengthen her reputation as a multifaceted creative voice.

To comprehend Lucy is to understand a workplace undergoing profound transformation. Her journey across disciplines, industries, and continents is an inspiring example of what it means to be a modern leader.

The Early Years: Where Creativity And Communication Began

Lucy Love's dual identity as a professional is the first thing that people notice about her. Part strategist, part writer, part corporate leader, part British cultural observer, part director of security communications from the United States. Lucy represents a new generation of professionals who refuse to fit into a single category in a world where multidisciplinary thinking is becoming increasingly necessary. This combination may seem strange at first, even rare.

Her early career was defined by movement—industry to industry, challenge to challenge. She worked in:

• luxury fashion
• retail
• education
• construction
• fintech
• and eventually, intelligence and security

Each industry sharpened a different skill: precision, clarity, emotional resonance, brand identity, strategic planning, and long-term communication development.

Lucy often reflects on these foundations:

“Every industry taught me a different language. Fashion taught me aesthetics; fintech taught me accuracy; education taught me clarity. When I finally entered the security world, I realized I could bring all those languages together.”

This is where her professional identity began to evolve into something more distinct than traditional communication roles.

The Shift Into Security: Not a Change, But An Evolution

When Lucy stepped into the world of security and risk analysis, she wasn’t entering unfamiliar territory—she was expanding her creative and strategic capabilities into an industry that desperately needed them.

Global security organizations face a unique problem: their work is complex, often confidential, and deeply misunderstood by the public. Most companies use stale, corporate, or heavily technical communication frameworks that fail to convey urgency, relevance, or value.

Lucy immediately recognized the gap.

“Security affects people directly—yet the communication around it is often inaccessible. My role is to help bridge that gap. To take the complexity and translate it into meaning.”

This philosophy shapes her work as the Director of Marketing at Banyan Risk Group, an organization that provides intelligence reporting, geopolitical insights, and corporate risk consulting. Her communication strategies ensure stakeholders understand not just what the company does, but why the work matters.

At ROWAN Security, a veteran-owned U.S. security firm, Lucy’s leadership has helped modernize branding, digital presence, and public-facing communication—without sacrificing the seriousness and professionalism required in high-stakes environments.

Her dual-director role reflects both her expertise and her adaptability. Few leaders operate at an executive level across two security organizations simultaneously; fewer still bring the creative breadth that Lucy does.

Recognised On A Global Stage: The Security Innovator Award

Lucy’s influence has reached global recognition through the Global 100 Women in Leadership Awards, which honor women driving real transformation within traditionally male-dominated industries. In 2024, she received the Security Innovator Award at the Global 100 Women in Leadership Awards for her impact on how security and risk work are communicated to broader audiences. In addition, Lucy was awarded the 2025 Global 100 Women in Leadership award, marking two consecutive years.

For Lucy, the award was both meaningful and symbolic.

“It was never just about winning. It was about what the recognition represents—visibility for women in sectors where we haven’t always been seen, let alone celebrated.”

Her award spotlighted three defining aspects of her work:

1. Innovation in communication across global security

Lucy has introduced modern frameworks for explaining intelligence, risk mitigation, and threat awareness in ways that are public-friendly and globally relevant.

2. Leadership in digital transformation

She has championed digital-first strategies within organizations that historically relied on traditional communication.

3. Advocacy for women in leadership

Lucy’s presence on the global stage reinforces the need for greater representation in intelligence and security sectors.

This recognition significantly elevates her international profile—important not only for career credibility but also for global mobility.
