FSFlame1Rapid Resolve, LLC is located on the beautiful Alabama Gulf Coast and will serve clients locally, regionally and nationally on a 24/7 basis.  Owners Brett Ledet and Paige Rucker are very excited to join a nationally recognized and trusted leader in crisis readiness and thrilled with the opportunity to teach organizations how to empower themselves to manage risk and crisis so that ‘disaster due diligence’ isn’t an afterthought but a way of doing business.

Brett Ledet, a Louisiana native, is a dedicated and results driven sales manager with over 13 years of successful new business development, competitive market share expansion and customer relationship development. He is energetic and goal oriented with a genuine passion for sales strategies and a well-rounded background in supporting progressive organization in optimizing performance and growth.  Brett is an acute communicator and presenter adept at establishing rewarding relationships to benefit business growth.

Paige Rucker, an Alabama native, has a diverse background in marketing, media relations, project and crisis management. She is currently involved in disaster recovery for the Alabama Gulf Coast as a result of the largest manmade disaster in history – the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.  She serves as the State Director for Project Rebound, a counseling and resource agency for victims of the oil spill.  She is an Ambassador for the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences GuLF Study as well as the Alabama Liaison for the Louisiana Public Health Institute - Primary Care Capacity Project.  Paige also serves as a Key Informant for the Healthy Gulf Healthy Communities and a member of the Baldwin County Community Alliance.

Both Brett and Paige have witnessed first-hand how a disaster, like the oil spill, can cripple even the most resilient communities.  And if there’s one take away it’s this – Preparedness isn’t a luxury, it’s the cost of doing business.
