About Operative

Operative is a security-first digital platform built to serve one of the world's fastest-growing — yet most vulnerable — customer segments: foreign travelers, expats, and digital nomads in Latin America.

What Uber did for transportation, Operative is doing for personal protection.

We connect you with a vetted network of former military professionals, private security teams, and concierge operators across Latin America — all available to book online in minutes. Whether you're heading to a first date in Medellín, arriving solo at the airport, or navigating a new city alone, Operative is your silent backup. Discreet. Professional. On your side.

Why We Exist

Colombia is ground zero for a global shift in private security. With one of the most militarized societies in the world and tens of thousands of highly trained veterans retiring annually, the country has become the world's largest exporter of private military labor — from Yemen to Ukraine, from Haiti to Sudan.

Yet while foreign governments, oil companies, and warlords have long capitalized on Colombia's talent, everyday travelers have had no easy, reliable, or ethical way to access professional security services — until now.

Operative bridges this gap. We aggregate elite local talent into a premium platform designed for peace of mind — not warzones.
