A Young Guard with Big Dreams

Antonio Guadagni began his career in security at just eighteen years old, working special events in Las Vegas Long before he was leading high-level executive protection teams, he was learning the fundamentals of trust, discipline, and situational awareness. He did not see security as a side job. He saw it as the beginning of something greater, a calling.

Determined to take the profession seriously, Antonio earned a degree in criminal justice and began seeking out top-tier training programs. His work ethic and attention to detail made him stand out, and soon he was receiving advanced instruction in personal protection, behavioral intelligence, and global travel safety. These were not just credentials to him. They were tools that would one day allow him to protect real people in unpredictable situations.

Antonio understood early on that being a great protector meant being more than just a presence. It meant being a calming force, a strategic planner, and someone clients could truly rely on. These principles would become the core of everything he built.

From Local Guard to Global Security Leader

Antonio’s work soon took him far beyond Nevada. As his expertise grew, so did his opportunities. He protected clients in Phoenix, New York, Miami, and internationally, including Europe and Latin America. These global assignments taught him how to adapt to cultural differences, complex logistics, and highly sensitive environments. He learned how to build relationships with international vendors and security teams and how to maintain the same high standards no matter where he was.

Whether protecting a celebrity in a crowded city, coordinating transport for an executive team, or managing residential safety for a family abroad, Antonio never cut corners. He planned routes down to the minute, studied local laws, and built contingency plans for every possible scenario.

His clients noticed. Word spread that Antonio was a professional who took the role seriously, treated people respectfully, and always delivered with precision. And yet, despite the prestige of his work, he remained approachable and grounded; a rare quality in a field that often demands bravado.

Building Alexios Security Solutions

In 2019, after years of working for others, Antonio founded Alexios Security Solutions in Las Vegas. He wanted to create a firm that matched his values: trust, precision, and service. He envisioned a security company that operated at a high level, but one that also treated clients as partners and cared deeply about every assignment.

Alexios quickly became known for its white-glove executive protection services. From secure estate coverage to personal security at events, the team earned a reputation for being calm under pressure and always prepared. Antonio insisted that every agent at Alexios be well-trained, emotionally intelligent, and fully licensed, not just in the classroom but in the field.

What began as a Las Vegas-based company soon grew into a headquarters, expanding our service through Reno, Elko, and Carson City, while expanding to Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, and surrounding areas. Alexios now operates across the Southwest and continues to take on clients nationally and internationally, providing exceptional security across the globe.

Antonio’s Leadership and Daily Routine

Antonio leads by doing. His day starts early, often reviewing schedules, client updates, and team assignments before most are out of bed. He may visit a set location, conduct a training session at the Alexios facility, or meet a client at their home or hotel. He always makes time for personal check-ins with his agents and encourages open dialogue and honest feedback.

He believes leadership is not about control, but about presence. His agents know he is always available for advice or a second opinion. His clients know he listens first and speaks with purpose.

He teaches his team that the best security is invisible to everyone but the client. That means no posturing, no unnecessary escalation, and no surprises. His agents are trained in communication, de-escalation, and what he calls “environmental empathy”, the ability to sense and support the emotional tone of any situation.

Global Experience, Local Trust

While Antonio has traveled extensively and worked on some of the world’s most complex assignments, he remains committed to his clients in Las Vegas and Phoenix. He believes that trust is built locally, and his presence in the community is consistent. He works personally with venue managers, hospitality partners, and private families to ensure his clients have reliable protection where it matters most at home and on the move.

From protecting a CEO attending a sports event at Allegiant Stadium, to managing estate security for a public figure in Scottsdale, Antonio ensures that the same standards apply whether the job is local or international.

He also maintains relationships with trusted partners worldwide. That means when a client needs protection in another city or country, Antonio can arrange coverage that mirrors the quality of service they expect from Alexios. This global reach gives clients peace of mind wherever they go.
