Melissa Muir J.D.
Senior Threat Management Consultant, Pinkerton
2025
With over 25 years of experience, I bridge the gap between human resources and security to help organizations build healthier, safer work environments. I have held HR leadership positions with the federal courts and local government in the Seattle area, and I now apply these skills to my consulting practice, helping both private and public sector clients navigate crises and implement effective prevention strategies.
As a leader with the Association of Threat Assessment Professionals (ATAP) for over 15 years, I have trained thousands globally on building effective partnerships between security, HR, and community stakeholders. I also represent Human Resources on Pinkerton’s Global Threat Management Group to deliver objective, informed, and holistic threat management solutions.
The inaugural Eradicate Hate Summit was a truly impressive gathering of leaders dedicated to finding lasting and effective solutions to violent extremism. I was particularly moved by the prominence given to survivors and family members of victims of hate and violence throughout the event. Their stories and those of so many others must be at the center of what we do and why we do it.
