Season 5, Episode 5: Winston Stewart - Seneca Alumnus, CEO of Wincon Security

About Today's Show

Welcome to episode 5, Season 5 of #SenecaProud Podcast!

I have a question for you. Have you ever been set on a life-plan, and then something happens outside of your control, or maybe someone whispers something in your ear, which causes you to fully reconsider your plan, and pivot to a different life direction? What do you do? Do you decide to take the risk, and pivot to that new direction? Or do you cling to your original plan that doesn't make as much sense as it once might have?

In this episode we meet Seneca Alumnus and CEO of Wincon Security, Winston Stewart, who was faced with that question 30 years ago and decided to take the risk and follow the new direction. The result was the creation of Wincon Security, which has grown into one of Canada's most successful privately owned security companies.

In this episode we also talk about:

  1. The keys to running and growing a successful business.
  2. The importance of seizing the moment, and going for it.
  3. The role Seneca College played in Winston's direction in life.
  4. Lots more!

About our Guest, Winston Stewart

Winston Stewart has over 30 years of experience in the security industry. While a still a student of Seneca College in their police services program, Winston recognized the rising need for security in the private sector, and the opportunities in private policing, and launched Wincon Security in 1992 at the suggestion of his professor at Seneca College. Starting, the way many start-ups do, with a single client who believed in him, and a single employee, Wincon Security is now a multimillion-dollar organization, employing over 250 people with over 100 clients.

The Wincon Vision is to make security a worry-free experience, one that enables their clients to focus on what matters most: their organization's growth and success. Winston has created a nurturing workplace culture driven by their employees' insights and ideas, where engagement and long-term client partnerships set us apart from the competition. And it all began at Seneca College. Winston is a proponent of equity and diversity and is committed to creating policies, strategic plans, and programs that contribute to our multicultural society.
