Welcome to Inside the War Room: Case Studies in Crisis. In this introductory episode, meet your hosts: Sherine Ebadi, Michael Estevez and Jordan Strauss, leaders in crisis management, business intelligence and investigations. 

Listen as each host recounts major crises they have personally managed. Go behind the scenes with Jordan Strauss, who discusses his experiences leading the U.S. Department of Justice response to the 2011 Fukushima tragedy; with Michael Estevez, who touches on the many crises he has worked on during his 20-plus years in the industry, as well as the personal impact of 9/11 on his career; and with Sherine Ebadi, who revisits her years as an FBI special agent and her humanitarian relief work in Turkey.  

In the episodes to follow, Sherine, Michael and Jordan will take you inside the war room with special guests who led or had senior roles on crisis management teams. Join us as we explore key decisions that were made during these events, how those decisions unfolded, what was learned and what advice our guests and hosts have for leaders who face the inevitable crisis.
