Bio
Aram Z.
I had the pleasure of working with Chris in both Iraq and Pakistan. In both countries, Chris was a senior colleague responsible for the security, staff health and safety, and logistics on two highly-visible, complex projects. Chris quickly established senior-level and trust-built relationships with Iraqi and Pakistani officials, enabling the project teams to perform their work in sometimes remote locations. In Pakistan, Chris was solely responsible for establishing the project's satellite offices in Karachi, Lahore and Peshawar. He conducted the site, health and safety assessments, negotiated with the local authorities, oversaw the procurement of all equipment, and directly managed all staff movements to and from the satellite offices. Beyond his job duties, Chris also became a trusted advisor to embassy security officials because of the strong linkages he developed with local officials on both assignments, and would frequently be called on to give trusted and impartial counsel. Finally, I was inspired by Chris' ability to mentor and coach junior staff. He was instrumental in helping our junior local staff gain confidence and new skills, enabling them to grow in their positions and effectively deliver on these complex programs. I continue to be impressed by Chris' skills in diplomacy, project management, and diplomacy, and consider myself fortunate to call him a friend. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Chris Kent again, and he has my absolute confidence and trust.

I've only worked in the same same tactical environment with Chris for a short time. I immediately realized I was working along side a multifaceted operator of the truest sort. A professional! While managing a large group of local nationals in a complete different dialect, he managed to coordinate highly complicated operations with local government, village leaders, and international military logistical and security forces. While taking a break from those responsibilities, he also proved to me, that he was as much a tactical operator in the sense of Force Protection, PSD, and Counter Terrorism, doing so, as easily as breathing. My friend and brother is a true operator on so many levels. He is who he says he is and doesn't waste anyone's time with BS hollywood crap like so many rambo wannabes out there. When you're real, you don't have to make a show of it... you just be yourself. Chris is Real! I don't know if Chris could be any other way. It's a true honor to have met him and worked along side him. I'm looking forward to the next time for sure! Any Mission, Any Place, Any Time! Mark-out

weSolve Understanding and Analysis (to include Monitoring and Evaluation), Outreach and Engagement, Security and Risk Management and Training challenges by deploying and sharing the risk, on-the-ground, with locals in some of the toughest regions in the world. Unlike other companies OUR managing partners DEPLOY to the front lines to provide 'rapid, precision reporting' to our clients: information as a service versus a written, polished product after months of applying snazzy, presentation-priented 'analytics.' We team with our network of locals to uncover unforeseen OPPORTUNITIES, for our clients, very early in the project lifecycle. we Solve - we and our local partners also help solve unforeseen CHALLENGES. For example, through our upfront ground game, and rapid reporting, we have helped save our clients - very early in the process - from entering into often destructive and very expensive relationships with (supposedly) local 'partners.' These crucial, early insights can't be provided by controlling local source reporting from the US, UK, and Europe. From a functional perspective we have helped solve a variety of challenges related to import/export control; illegal trafficking; information consumption and exchange; monitoring and evaluating field advisors, and conducting brown fielding and green fielding commercial reconnaissance forays into high risk environments.
