About Us

From the Front Lines to Your Front Door
Sinchi Consulting was born from a simple truth: the best defense comes from those who have walked the front lines. Our founder, Jeff Baker, a former Special Forces team sergeant, spent over a decade executing high-stakes missions in some of the world’s most volatile regions. He learned that staying adaptive, vigilant, and ahead of the threat is the only way to ensure safety – and he built Sinchi to bring that same level of security to clients like you. The name “Sinchi” itself comes from a Quechua word meaning “strong” and “brave”, reflecting the resilience and courage that drives our team.

Elite Team, Unmatched Experience – When we say our team is elite, we mean it. Sinchi Consulting is powered by a handpicked group of experts from the highest echelons of the security world – think former U.S. Special Forces operators, intelligence officers, and specialized law enforcement agents. We’ve led protection details for diplomats and CEOs, conducted reconnaissance in war zones, and trained allied forces overseas. This breadth and depth of experience means there’s no scenario too complex or too remote for us to handle. We don’t just understand security on paper; we’ve lived it in action.

Our Journey and Mission – After years on the battlefield and in the field, our founder saw a gap in the private sector: organizations and individuals were facing modern threats with outdated, reactive security. Sinchi was created to fill that gap. Our journey began with one goal – to empower clients by making world-class protective strategies accessible beyond the military realm. Today, that mission continues stronger than ever. Every operation we undertake, whether it’s safeguarding a nonprofit team in a conflict zone or advising a corporation on crisis strategy, is guided by the same ethos: we stay ahead so you stay free.

Adaptive Security Architecture™ – At the heart of our approach is a philosophy of constant adaptation. We developed Sinchi’s Adaptive Security Architecture™ as a living framework that we tailor to each client. It’s not a one-size plan on a shelf; it’s an evolving strategy that grows with you. We start by understanding your unique situation – your “battlefield.” Then we apply a cycle of predicting threats, preventing incidents, monitoring continuously, and responding swiftly. This approach ensures nothing falls through the cracks. As new threats arise or your circumstances change, we adjust in real-time. It’s the same principle that kept us alive in Special Ops, now applied to keep you safe in business and life.

Core Values – Our values were forged in environments where trust and integrity meant everything. At Sinchi, we value:

  • Integrity & Discretion: We hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards. Your trust is sacred, and we guard your confidentiality as tightly as we guard your security.

  • Commitment: In Special Forces, you never quit on the mission. At Sinchi, we are fully committed to our clients’ safety and success. We go the extra mile (or thousand miles) to secure what matters.

  • Adaptability: Situations change, whether in combat or in commerce. We pride ourselves on staying flexible and effective no matter what twists arise, always finding a solution.

  • Client Empowerment: You’ll notice we don’t keep you in the dark. We educate and involve our clients, so you gain confidence in your own understanding of security. When you work with us, you grow stronger too.

Global Presence, Personal Touch – We operate globally, but we’re a boutique firm at heart. That means when you hire Sinchi, you get a personal relationship with our leadership and team. We’ve built a worldwide network of trusted local partners and resources, yet maintain the agility of a small, dedicated unit. Whether you’re in New York or Nairobi, we combine local savvy with global best practices to protect you. We handle the heavy lifting – navigating international logistics, local regulations, cultural nuances – so you can focus on your mission.

Meet the Team – Our advisors and operators are not just highly skilled; they’re also mentors, problem solvers, and leaders. From a cybersecurity analyst who’s a former NSA operative, to a logistics expert who coordinated Special Forces deployments, each member of Sinchi brings something special. We work in tight-knit units, much like on a Special Forces “A-Team,” ensuring that all aspects of your security work in sync. You’ll have a dedicated point of contact, but behind them is a depth of knowledge collaboratively supporting every decision.

At Sinchi Consulting, we’re not just providing a service – we’re sharing a legacy. The lessons learned through sacrifice and service are now yours. Our story fuels our passion: to see clients move freely and fearlessly through their world. Your story, your success, and your safety are why we exist.

Jeff Baker

A retired U.S. Army Green Beret, our founder built his career on battle-tested leadership and trust forged in adversity. During his Special Forces service, he led elite teams on high-stakes missions around the world, demonstrating unwavering dedication, cultural adaptability, and calm under pressure befitting a true quiet professional. Along the way, he forged deep ties in Latin America – including time in Ecuador – which shaped a broad outlook on security that transcends borders and cultures.

After retiring from the military, he transitioned to high-level private-sector security consulting. He established Sinchi Consulting to deliver adaptive, proactive protection for those who need it most, bringing the Special Forces ethos to the private sphere. The name “Sinchi” – a Quechua word meaning strength, courage, and leadership – reflects his Latin American ties and the core values driving the company’s mission. He leads by example, instilling an ethos of vigilance, integrity, and service in every project. Above all, he lives by a simple creed: the strength to stand up for what’s right and the courage to take action – ensuring every client has a trusted guardian on their side.

FOUNDER/CEO

"Operating a remote oil project in a conflict-prone region was a security nightmare until we engaged Sinchi Consulting. Sinchi’s embedded protection specialists integrated seamlessly with our crew on-site. They implemented a robust security plan that turned a high-risk operation into a smooth, incident-free project. I traveled to our field camp each day with confidence, knowing Sinchi had every angle covered. Thanks to their expertise, we focused on drilling and production without worrying about safety—giving us the freedom to operate at full capacity."
CEO, Oil & Gas Firm

"I used to feel on edge at night in my own home, but after Sinchi Consulting overhauled my security, I finally have peace of mind. They conducted a comprehensive assessment of my property’s risks and strengthened every weak spot. The team put discreet, round-the-clock protections in place without intruding on our daily life. Now I sleep soundly knowing my family is safe, which gives me the freedom to enjoy my home and my life without constant worry. Their professionalism and discretion have earned my complete trust."
Private Investor

"Working in conflict zones used to keep me up at night worrying about my team’s safety. Sinchi Consulting stepped in with hostile environment training and contingency planning tailored to our field missions. They prepared our staff to handle everything from civil unrest to medical emergencies, and even provided on-call support when we were in the field. Now my team deploys overseas with confidence, knowing we have the skills and backup to stay safe while we focus on our humanitarian work. Having Sinchi in our corner is now essential to how we operate in the field."
