Liberty Group Ventures Launches, Bringing Risk Management Solutions to Public and Private Sectors

ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Liberty Group Ventures, LLC, a woman-owned, small business, announced its launch today. The company will develop risk management solutions to help organizations become more resilient and enable them to prepare for and respond to all hazards: physical (e.g., natural and man-made) and non-physical (e.g., brand and reputation management).

The company leads Fortune 500 corporations, local and state governments, colleges and universities, sports stadiums and other organizations in the development of lean, innovative preparedness and resiliency solutions. Custom services offered by Liberty Group Ventures include cybersecurity gap analyses, crisis management training, and tabletop exercises to help organizations develop sophisticated and dynamic hazard preparedness, response, and recovery plans.

Before founding Liberty Group Ventures, president and CEO Kiersten Todt Coon served as a partner of Good Harbor Consulting. As a partner, Ms. Coon supported the Arlington Office of Emergency Management in the development of the Northern Virginia (NOVA) Recovery Resource Initiative. This initiative convened private, public and nonprofit representatives to examine recovery resource management. The project focused on the supply chain and the government's role in supporting private sector post-disaster recovery efforts.

"Liberty Group Ventures focuses on each client's needs and goals," says Coon. "We apply best practices and lessons learned to develop customized, dynamic solutions to help clients become more resilient, agile and effective in handling their unique risks."

Prior to joining Good Harbor Consulting, Coon worked in the White House and on Capitol Hill, and helped draft the legislation that created the Department of Homeland Security. In response to the 2007 Virginia Tech shootings, she developed a security and risk management template for campuses that applies the strategic lessons of U.S. national security.
