MOUNTAIN VIEW, California: As corporate America recruits veterans who have led men and women under fire, Google has skimmed the cream of the crop to manage its global security. 

Veteran Chris Rackow heads the team that protects the company's 80,000 employees, its offices and property, in more than 150 cities across almost 60 countries. Google tapped Rackow's experience just over a year ago, recognising the value the former warrior would bring to the search powerhouse. He had spent years in two of the most elite military and paramilitary organisations in the world: the US Navy SEALs and the FBI Hostage Rescue Team.
