Sophie, 32, Whose Resume Has a Section Her Clients Aren't Allowed to Read
Female Bodyguards Who Are Way More Than Their Job Titles →
There is a portion of Sophie's professional history — roughly three years, right between her Royal Military Police service and her first private contract — that is classified at a level her own clients can't access during background checks. She's 32, British, currently based in Singapore, and she finds the whole thing mildly funny. Her current employer does not. Sophie specializes in ultra-high-net-worth family protection, which is a polished way of saying she is responsible for people who have genuinely made enemies. She has relocated a principal's family under 48-hour notice twice in the past year. (Both times the client thought it was a precaution. It was not a precaution.) Sophie charges accordingly, dresses impeccably, and was once photographed at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Hong Kong on what may or may not have been a working dinner. The next section explains what she does with her days off — and it's not what you'd expect.
