Reston, Va., May 31, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Constellis, the leading provider of risk management services worldwide, announced today that the crisis response team of Terra Firma Risk Management has joined the company. The integration of key personnel directly enhances Constellis’ existing crisis management services offering that has been providing support to clients for the past four years on issues of cyber extortion, extortion, kidnap, hostage-taking, piracy and emergency evacuations, positioning Constellis as one of the most capable and qualified teams across the field. Highly regarded throughout the industry, Terra Firma will remain an active entity for all existing clients who wish it to remain as the service provider on their special risks insurance policies.
With an impressive resume that includes more than 250 years of combined experience and the resolution of over 800 international cases, Constellis’ new crisis management and response team is comprised of 37 crisis responders across 20 countries with 18 different language capabilities. Leading the team as its new vice president of crisis and risk services will be Mark Allison, the former managing partner of Terra Firma and a well-known and highly skilled crisis response consultant with more than 25 years of experience. Allison spent several years with Clayton Consultants before joining Terra Firma, advising on cases of kidnap, extortion, wrongful detention and piracy.
“We are excited to welcome Mark and the rest of Terra Firma to the Constellis team,” said Martin Rudd, CEO of Constellis’ commercial services division, “as they will be critical in managing the increasingly complex environment in which they are operating. Their extensive breadth and depth of capabilities, and strong relationships within the insurance industry bring tremendous value to our crisis management offering.”
