Walden Security Enters Dallas-Fort Worth Market By Opening Office In Las Colinas

Hires Industry Veteran Nancy Montgomery to Lead Office
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.  (March 3) – Walden Security, one of America’s largest privately-held security companies, will enter the Dallas-Fort Worth market by opening an office in Las Colinas on March 3.  It will be led by Nancy Montgomery, an industry veteran with 21 years experience – including 17 in Dallas – where she has helped protect more than 60 Class A office buildings and Fortune 500 corporate campuses.

 “People in Dallas-Fort Worth know Nancy Montgomery, and they know her reputation for building successful client partnerships and delivering exceptional customer service,” said Walden Security President Michael S. Walden. “Those are exactly the same qualities we’ve always used to build our company and I am excited about adding Nancy to the Walden Security team.”

The Dallas-Fort Worth expansion marks the latest milestone for Walden Security, which started more than 20 years ago with a business card and a handshake. Today, it’s the nation’s 10th largest privately-held contract security firm, providing a range of security services for a diverse roster of commercial and government facilities.

The Dallas office will be located at 511 East John Carpenter, a Cousins property in Las Colinas. Walden Security expects to hire about 100 field security professionals in the coming months – including HR, Operations and Training managers, and that number will continue to grow as Walden Security quickly expands its local presence.

Montgomery has previously been successful opening offices in cities such as Dallas, New York and Atlanta.

“What drew me to Walden Security is that it believes that people still do business with people, not companies,” Montgomery said. “Unlike so many others in our industry, Walden Security focuses on building long-term relationships with both its customers and its employees, rather than expanding by mergers or acquisitions, I’m excited about working with our customers here because I’ve always done that, especially the past 17 years in Dallas.”
