America Back to Work Ep 26: Arnette Heintze, S2Verify
How to Think Like a Secret Service Agent
November 22, 1963. June 6, 1968. April 30, 1981. September 11, 2001
All of these dates led to the creation of S2Verify in some way. Witnessing some of the major events in US history that occurred on these dates—including the assassinations of JFK, RFK, Reagen—inspired Arnette Heintze, co-founder of S2Verify, to dedicate 21 years of his life to the Secret Service. When he pivoted to entrepreneurship, background screening was an obvious next step.
On this week’s very special episode of America Back to Work, Arnette is in the hot seat to answer questions all about how S2Verify came to be—including the lessons about security he learned as a Secret Service Agent that can be applied to human resources today.
