Jamine Moton is a security industry disruptor. 

​

After almost a decade working in law enforcement, Jamine Moton is now pioneering a new era of physical security throughout the U.S. Southeast and beyond. Jamine understands that protecting people from harm is one thing—fostering emotional safety is another. That’s the mission behind Skylar Security: to set a new industry standard where security is viewed holistically for both the service providers and the communities they protect.

​

After leaving her position as Police Sergeant in the metro Atlanta area, Jamine spent three years researching the physical security industry at length. What she found were troubling patterns of opaque business practices, below-average wages, a lack of quality control, and an overall poor image. She knew the industry needed a change and decided to be the catalyst by prioritizing people above profits.

​

With Skylar Security, she combines empathy with action, leading with both compassion and courage. Today, Skylar Security is a boutique household name with a network of 300+ security guards, servicing hundreds of clients, including: 

​

• Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta

• Super Bowl LIV in Miami

• Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta

• Habitat for Humanity, LLC

• SouthDowntown Atlanta

• Colliers International

• Brasfield Gorrie Construction

• JEDUNN Construction 

​​

After winning the Atlanta-based Women’s Entrepreneurship Initiative’s pitch competition in 2018, Jamine went on to represent Atlanta's entrepreneurial ecosystem at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in The Hague, Netherlands. She has since shared her insights on various platforms including : 

​

• Inc., 

• Forbes

• Wall Street Journal

• Fortune Well

• Business Insider

• Newsweek

• Global Atlanta

• B.B.C

• Atlanta Women Magazine

• Security Magazine

​​

Most recently, Jamine was recognized as part of the 2024 Inc. Female Founders 250 List.

​

Jamine has revolutionized the industry once again, as she launched the Skylar App, a proprietary technology solution that offers a range of functions to cater to every stakeholder in the security landscape, from the clients and agencies to the security specialists on the ground. Beyond that, in line with the company’s commitment to provide tailored security solutions, the app also provides support in areas such as cash flow management, industry best practices, and personalized coaching sessions. Through partnerships with Asylon and Kabam, Skylar is launching a SecTec Experience Showroom inside Saltbox Westside Atlanta - giving Atlanta and Nashville a front-row seat to the future of Sectec.

​

Jamine also hopes to leverage her unique experience of policing as a woman to build a bridge in the national discourse between law enforcement and the Black community at large to foster communication, trust, and healing. 

​

Beyond her business achievements, Jamine is a seven-time Clemson University Hall of Fame track and field athlete as well as a former Olympic team member. She’s also an Entrepreneur in Residence for the Main Street Entrepreneurship Seed Fund program at Georgia State University and a Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Ambassador & Alum.
