The agency’s crisis team, which includes a former private investigator, food safety expert and video journalist, is led by senior partner Susan Tellem, a retired registered nurse and Los Angeles Police Department reserve officer specialist who was also a member of the FBI’s InfraGard team.
Tellem said the agency would be poised to provide services for companies, law enforcement agencies and citizens as incidents of cyber-crime and terror-related crimes increase.
“I have been working in or with law enforcement for a long time and with the rise in terrorism and cybercrime, it just felt right to take my experience in crisis and law enforcement and tie them together for the benefit of clients who have expertise in the counter-terrorism area except for crisis management,” Tellem told O’Dwyer’s.
