offers a full range of capabilities, including investigations, business intelligence, foreign vendor screening, country reports,
and other on-call discreet services.
- The Director of Security for a major U.S. oil and gas exploration
company recently contacted us to assist him in planning for an in extremis evacuation of several company employees
from an African nation after riots broke out in that country. Within 24 hours Executive Services Consultants prepared
primary, secondary and tertiary option plans for the evacuation of these employees and also martialled resources and special
operations professionals to execute the mission.
We were retained by the family of a medical patient to investigate
the actions of direct care staff and pharmacists at a large Iowa regional medical center. Developed evidence of narcotics
use and theft by an RN employed at the facility and further evidence of widespread violations of medication disposal procedures
at the hospital. The evidence was presented to the local state Board of Nursing, which imposed disciplinary
actions against the RN, including suspension of her license, thus positioning our client to seek damages from both the
RN and the medical center.
- A corporate client in Europe retained Executive Services
Consultants on an urgent basis to conduct an immediate background check and prepare a comprehensive due dilligence
report on a U.S.- based firm that was bidding on a multi-million dollar security contract in the Gulf of Aden.
Our investigation revealed that the U.S. firm not only had numerous sizeable leins and judgments against it, but also
that the firm's CEO had a past criminal record. Our examination of the background, education and
experience of the CEO and his partners indicated that they lacked deep experience in the type of work demanded from the
contract. Our timely report enabled the client to avoid a costly mistake and convinced the client to renew
its search for a different firm with sufficient gravitas and bona fides to undertake this type
of sensitive and high-risk security contract.
- A U.S.
corporate client asked us to investigate the bona fides of an international business vendor and
U.S. citizen doing business from Lithuania. Our investigation uncovered evidence of misrepresentation and
fraud. As a result of our work, the American client avoided a costly and embarrasing business commitment.
As a post-script to this case, the Lithuanian-based vendor was subseqently apprehended by Federal authorities upon
arrival in the U.S. and prosecuted on 52 counts of wire fraud.
- We were retained by a client to investigate the background,
credentials and bona fides of a professor employed by a local private college. The report documented the validity
of the professor's degree but also unearthed evidence that the subject had misrepresented her teaching record
and inflated her publication accomplishments.
- Executive Services Consultants was retained by an elderly client to determine the disposition
of sizeable assets from a 1974 estate settlement in New York state. Our investigation produced a
detailed and lengthy inventory of the assets and additional real estate holdings of interest to our
client as well as the legal disposition of them. The information positioned our client to re-open the settlement
and submit legal claims for some of the assets.
- The CEO of a major US transportation company doing business internationally
was poised to sign a multi-year contract with a Latin American businessman but grew suspicious when the businessman continually
insisted that all meetings take place in his country. The CEO engaged us to investigate. We discovered that the Latin
American businessman and his partners were linked to a major drug cartel and was suspected of having used its transport
fleet in the past to smuggle narcotics in South America. Furthermore, we discovered through our federal contacts
that a US law enforcement agency had issued a federal warrant for the arrest of the Latin American businessman. should
he enter the U.S-- which explained why the Latin American insisted on holding all meetings in his country.
As a result of our confidential investigation, the CEO avoided entry into a potentially costly and embarassing business relationship.
