Founded by a U.S. military veteran and based in the Greater Washington D.C. area, Terra Firma Indonesia operates on the principle of solid ground — clear intelligence, steady networks, and trusted execution. We bring a deep understanding of both American business expectations and Southeast Asia operating realities. Our boutique structure allows us to work closely with clients, providing agile, mission-focused support while maintaining the discretion and integrity that complex international engagements demand.

Our consultancy draws on decades of experience representing U.S. interests across the Asia-Pacific region, with a focus on Indonesia and Southeast Asia. Our founder previously served as a geopolitical subject matter expert for the U.S. Department of Defense, supporting foreign government liaison initiatives, force protection, and counterterrorism, as well as managing corporate security and risk programs across Asia. This background includes leading crisis management efforts during high-profile incidents such as the flight MH370 disappearance, Typhoon Haiyan disaster relief, and Jakarta terrorist bombings — along with negotiating the safe release of detained U.S. personnel in Indonesia.

Our foundation in government and corporate crisis leadership enables our firm to deliver steady, informed guidance to organizations operating in complex environments — grounded in real-world experience and trusted regional networks that stand ready to address uncertainties, opacity, and unforseen challenges.
