The Life Safety Alliance is excited to announce its third annual list of Top 40 Global Thought Leaders in Security & Life Safety.
A tie for the final spot expanded this year’s Class of 2026 to 41 honorees, spanning 13 countries and six continents. Nineteen honorees hail from outside the U.S., with Austria, India, Saudi Arabia, and Uruguay represented for the first time.
This year’s methodology also expanded to reflect where influence happens. Two new scoring categories, Expert Witness and Legislative & Regulatory Testimony, recognized professionals who also shape the industry in courtrooms and hearing rooms, not just on stages and podcasts.
Congratulations to all 41 honorees! 📋 See the full list: https://www.lifesafetyalliance.org/top40
