Michael DeSouza Retires from The World Bank and Joins Caribbean Cargo DC

LANHAM, Md. - Jan. 5, 2018 - PRLog -- Caribbean Cargo DC announced today the new Director of Operations -- Michael DeSouza -- a Guyanese-born former Detective and now former Senior Security Specialist at the World Bank Group (WBG). DeSouza recently retired from the WBG after 32 years of service.

The WBG provides financial and technical assistance in over 100 developing countries throughout the globe. It is one of the world's largest sources of development assistance. Established in 1944, the WBG is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and employs more than 14,000 employees in more than 120 offices worldwide.

DeSouza joined the WBG as a contracted security officer after relocating his family to the Washington, D.C. metro area in 1985. DeSouza was previously a detective in Guyana and has over 40 years of experience in the security industry.

During his time at the WBG, he provided security support to bank management staff in the areas of security, risk management, security awareness, contingency planning, protective operations, guard-force contract management, staff advice on residential security, and life safety. His duties project management, major security projects, and capital investment projects. This included enhancing visitor access control systems and access screenings; such as handheld/walk-through metal detectors, package screening devices, and electronic countermeasure equipment.

DeSouza conceptualized technical security plans and trained guards on use of WBG equipment and proper reporting procedures. His work at the WBG relied heavily on his keen ability to facilitate the execution of secure missions and actively employ internal WBG clearance-based mitigation and prevention measures.

DeSouza also gave back to his native Guyana by developing and producing a tamper-proof ID card system for the Guyana Police Force (GPF). He was featured in the Guyana Chronicle, a daily newspaper owned by the Guyanese government, after presenting the new security features at Police Headquarters in Eve Leary, Georgetown.

"My years of experience working in the field of security has helped me develop and uphold three key disciplines: physical security, technical security, as well as fire and life safety," says DeSouza. As the new Director of Operations at Caribbean Cargo DC (CCDC), he has already streamlined the company's warehousing process and has plans to enhance the warehouse staff's knowledge of these key security principles.
