The Firm
DRTB Solutions is a global security and risk consultancy, founded in Dubai by three former operators of the F.G.N.E., the special operations unit of the Spanish Navy.
Between us we spent years on the ground in Libya, Iraq, Somalia, the Gulf of Aden and other complex theatres. We know what a plan is worth when a situation changes, and what it costs when nobody prepared one.
We protect the people, the assets and the operations of organisations working in demanding environments, and we stay accountable from the first call to the final report.
We support energy and industrial operators, engineering and construction firms, media organisations, NGOs and private principals across the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Europe.
Managing Director · Founding Partner

Control when complexity escalates.
A confidential conversation about your exposure and how we can support you. No obligation.
