After working for some of the largest security companies in New York for over 5 years, Pete Quinn embarked on the journey of founding PQA in 2008. Refusing to grow without finding quality people with the same mindset of “integrity first” the company has flourished, now boasting nearly 150 employees and contractors who set the benchmark in Security Concierge and Travel Risk Management. We don’t take on any assignment unless we can do it to our standards. Period. That unwavering integrity, paired with industry-leading skills, and outstanding “in the moment” decision-making are the hallmarks of our success. PQA has evolved into a symbol of excellence in the security industry. Despite our resistance to expansion – for fear of watering down the service our clients have become accustomed to, in 2024, PQA achieved remarkable recognition by being named one of the fastest-growing privately owned companies in America by Inc Magazine. This accolade is a testament to the dedication, hard work and integrity of the incredible team, solidifying PQA’s position as an industry trailblazer in the dynamic field of security and risk management.
