Roshan Khan steps down as Chairman of RK’s Security — to focus on spiritual and humanitarian pursuits: new leadership team takes over.
RK’s Guyana Security Services, a leading security provider for over 40 years, has announced today that Dr. Roshan Khan Snr, has stepped down as Chairman and will now transition to a ‘Strategic Advisor’ role on the new board. The transition will also see a new leadership team installed to manage the development and growth of the security firm.
Dr. Roshan Khan Snr founded RK’s Guyana Security Services on August 7, 1979, with an initial capital investment of $7.50 GYD. This purchased one and a half gallons of gasoline for his motorcycle that inevitably kickstarted the growth of an empire. With humble beginnings, a grand vision, and pure grit, Dr. Roshan Khan Snr was notably the first person to take security out of Georgetown. The company admirably expanded to serve all 10 Regions of Guyana — a first amongst its competitors. It currently employs over 500 employees with the capacity for more. The company has always strived to be a pioneer by leading the sector with innovative ideas, strategies, and tools.
The new leadership team will be led by Chief Executive Officer I — Mrs. Ingrid Abrams (Retired Female Senior Police Officer), and Chief Executive Officer II — Dr. Rosh Khan. They will be supported by Chief Operations Officer — Mr. Dennis Abrams; Chief Transport Officer and Security Advisor — Mr. Colin Boodie, and Chief Training Officer — Mr. Ovid Glasgow (Assistant Commissioner of Police, Rtd). Other members of the board include: Mrs. L. Dinnauth — Finance Director; Mrs. Rajdai Ragubeer — Deputy Finance Director; Mr. Roshaad Lall, and Mr. Irzad Zamal as Board Directors.
Dr. Roshan Khan Snr says, “Thank you, Lord God. Thank you staff and Officers, some of whom have gone to the great beyond. Thank you to all my customers, past and present, for giving me a wonderful opportunity to serve you. Thank you Universe. Thank you Ancestors for the DNA in me. It is time for me to serve my country, my peoples and the world in whatever direction the Creator, the Universe and nature will direct me. And, as I strive to serve children development centers, old folks homes, our homeless brothers and sisters, and practice growing of my own food.”
Mrs. Ingrid Abrams, the Chief Executive Officer I, said, “On behalf of the company, I take this opportunity to thank our Founder for his vision and unwavering leadership. His entrepreneurial spirit and exceptional dedication steered our company to this moment, and we look forward to working with him as a strategic advisor. Through innovation and steadfast execution, we will deliver on the mission of RK’s Guyana Security Services to provide safety and security across Guyana. We are taking action to focus and execute on a strategy that will propel this company into the next phase of its evolution while providing long-term value to our employees and customers.”
Dr. Rosh Khan, the Director of Business Development and Chief Executive Officer II added, “Dr. Roshan Khan Snr has successfully positioned our company for long-term success. We remain eternally grateful for my father’s contributions while he served as CEO/Chairman. Moving forward, we commit to upholding the vision and values that started our company and will build upon the successes through a series of efforts around restructuring, retraining, retooling, and rebranding over the next year. We remain optimistic about Guyana’s future and look forward to playing a pivotal role in the safety and security of our nation and its people.”
It is the hope that this transition will enable Dr. Roshan Khan Snr to pursue his humanitarian and spiritual paths more fully and attentively while serving the country and humanity at large.
