IEM

At the heart of IEM's mission is a steadfast commitment to building a safe, secure, and resilient world. For nearly four decades, IEM has stood as a pillar in emergency management, disaster recovery, homeland security, public health, and digital services. As the largest woman- and minority-owned professional services firm of its kind, IEM integrates science, technology, and invaluable real-world experience to deliver solutions that not only work but also produce outcomes that truly matter, often saving lives. Founded in 1985 by Madhu Beriwal, who continues to serve as Founder and Chairwoman, IEM was born from a recognized need to infuse objectivity and scientific rigor into public protection decisions, shifting preparedness from a subjective art to a data-driven science. This foundational vision has propelled IEM to become a trusted partner for government agencies and private sector organizations globally.

The culture at IEM, often referred to as the “IEM Family,” is built upon a dedicated and driven team of professionals who collaborate to innovate for the future. The company's tagline, “I Think, Therefore IEM,” symbolizes a culture of innovation and critical thinking that empowers and encourages every team member to pursue new ideas and solutions. IEMers, as they call themselves, are deeply committed to the company's mission, striving to produce results that make a tangible difference in the lives of those they serve. This commitment is fostered in a collaborative and diverse workplace where every individual's ideas and voice are valued. IEM recognizes that a diverse, engaged, and committed workforce, considering the needs of every community served, is paramount to effective innovation and to building a safer world. This inclusive culture, combined with a passion for excellence and a client-focused approach, underpins IEM's impressive record of professional achievement and its ongoing dedication to making a positive social impact through its work and community engagement.
