ABOUT
Building Capability Through Experience
Resilience Advisory Group exists to help organisations navigate complexity with confidence.
Founded by security and resilience specialist Sarina Persall, the business combines decades of operational leadership with a multidisciplinary team of experts committed to practical advice and measurable outcomes.
Our work extends beyond compliance and policy development—we help organisations build capability.
Our Philosophy
We believe resilience is created through people. Policies and frameworks are essential, but lasting organisational resilience comes from capable leaders, confident teams and practical systems that perform when they're needed most.
Our Approach
Every engagement begins with understanding. We work collaboratively to understand people, operations and strategic objectives before developing practical recommendations that align with each client's operating environment.
Our Founder
