Executive Protection Case Study

Executive Protection

Situation

A large multinational insurance company with business in a variety of potentially dangerous locations had a senior executive kidnapped while on a business trip to Costa Rica. Although, Costa Rica is normally classified as a safe country, senior executives from the USA are targeted as kidnap victims for ransom. The executive was kidnapped because he was traveling alone without any semblance of protection. The kidnapping curtailed all international travel for the corporation while the situation was sorted out and cost the companies tens of millions of dollars in lost business transactions. The insurance corporation made the error of believing the executive was safe traveling in a “docile” country.

Why Security Experts Needed

Delta immediately deployed a kidnap negotiation team to Costa Rica and established executive protection protocols for all risk-oriented destinations (both domestic and international). Experts in executive protections were quickly introduced to the insurance company and assigned for all future protective details. The kidnap team rapidly established communications with the kidnappers and successfully negotiated the release of the executive. The executive protection teams had access to current intelligence for all travel destinations and were able to flex to every situation with appropriate resources.
