Security ProAdvisors is pleased to announce the appointment of Marc Bognar, CPP, as its new President, succeeding the late founder and President Keith Oringer. Marc brings nearly four decades of security industry leadership and deep expertise in strategic growth, operational excellence, and M&A advisory to the role.
Marc is a nationally recognized security executive who has built and led high-performing security companies, both organically and through acquisition. As the former Chief Operating Officer of SOS Security, Marc played a pivotal role in transforming the company from a regional player into the fourth-largest security firm in the U.S., ultimately facilitating its acquisition by Allied Universal in 2019.
Throughout his career, Marc has advised Fortune 1000 companies on complex security strategies, evaluated and executed dozens of acquisitions, and consulted with security firms on maximizing enterprise value and preparing for generational transitions or strategic exits. His work has spanned both domestic and international markets, with a focus on raising standards across the private security sector.
"Marc’s experience, integrity, and commitment to excellence align perfectly with the mission my father established at Security ProAdvisors," said Eric Oringer, Keith’s son. "While my father’s passing is a tremendous loss, we are confident that Marc will honor his legacy and continue to elevate the advisory services we provide to the security industry."
Marc holds board certification in Security Management (CPP) from ASIS International, where he has served in numerous leadership roles, including Chair of the Security Services Community. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Thomas Edison State College and an MBA in Global Business Management from American Public University. He is also a graduate of the FBI Citizens Academy.
“I am honored to carry forward Keith’s vision and proud to join a team so deeply committed to supporting security companies through every phase of growth,” said Marc. “Security ProAdvisors has a unique position in the market, and I look forward to building on its success.”
