A reputation built in the moments no one plans for.
Preparedness is proven in the moments that matter most. These leaders have navigated crises firsthand. Here's what they experienced partnering directly with Maria.“I've known Maria Stone for years, and there are few people I would endorse more wholeheartedly. She is forward-thinking, energetic, committed to the task, and one of the hardest-working professionals I've encountered at any level. Those qualities matter enormously in crisis management and business continuity, and her clients are fortunate to have someone with that combination of drive and dedication in their corner."
— Mark Cheviron, Corporate Vice President of Security and Administrative Services, Archer Daniels Midland Company (Retired)“Maria has a rare ability to lead crisis response efforts with clarity and composure under extreme pressure. I witnessed this firsthand during the hurricane that severely impacted Abbott's Puerto Rico operations — one of the most complex and high-stakes events I've experienced. She led the crisis response with precision, and her leadership was instrumental in the speed and effectiveness of our recovery.”
— Phil Stevenson, International Security Director, Abbott (Retired)“For almost 20 years, I have had the pleasure of working with Maria during significantly difficult geopolitical situations. She has always displayed exceptional communication skills and ensured companies and organizations were thoroughly briefed and aware of the magnitude of those events. This enabled the leaders of those groups to respond appropriately.”
— Rich Davis, Managing Director, United Airlines Global Security (Retired)
Board Member of the Security Foundation“Maria didn't just design a crisis management program at Kenvue — she built it, trained it, and scaled it across our global operations. The depth of preparedness she created — from frontline teams all the way to senior leadership — was remarkable. She built a program that was truly ready for whatever came next.”
