Problem
The CEO and staff of an American raw materials transportation company needed to be in an East African capital for high-level meetings and ribbon-cutting for new machinery bringing efficiencies to a local mining operation.
Solution
Arriving by private jet, the CEO and his team had numerous needs –including a meet-and-greet at the airport, expedited customs clearance, armored vehicles, and a
close protection team for travel. International SOS was called.
In coordination with local and vetted security providers, International SOS coordinated movement from the airport to various meetings around the capital, and the dedication ceremony attended by various government ministers and mining officials.
Tasks included threat assessments across the capital, including airport and hotel security, route options, and even possible threats against the company and its executive leadership.
Impact
Medical and security plans were put into place, with a minute-by-minute itinerary so the team would not be late to any of the important events or meetings.ROI
In the end, the trip went off without any unforeseen challenges thanks to planning, partners, and boots-on-the-ground support from International SOS and its Executive Protection services.
