Meet The Team
It’s all about experience!
AEGIS Crisis Management has a strong core team and is fortunate to have a deep bench of subject matter experts including Cyber, Medical and Regulatory, Manufacturing, Supply Chain Management and more. The word “AEGIS” is identified with ‘protection by a strong force’ with its roots in Greek mythology. The word itself is commonly translated to mean ‘shield’.
The modern concept of doing something “under someone’s aegis” means doing something under the protection of a powerful, knowledgeable, or benevolent source.
Our team is your company’s AEGIS – a shield, providing knowledgeable protection for your most valuable assets in times of crisis.
