What Soteryx does

Soteryx is a strategy and engagement advisory firm headquartered in Schenectady, New York, founded in 2016. The firm serves public and private organizations across three core service pillars: Risk Advisory (addressing cyber, regulatory, IT/network, security, and reputational risks), Operational Resiliency (business continuity and crisis response), and Audience Engagement (reputation management, media relations, and stakeholder engagement). Specialty offerings include media training, pandemic response consulting, cybersecurity advisory for healthcare and small businesses, and SBA HUBZone certification advisory. The firm is structured as a privately held Minority-Owned small business holding SBA HUBZone certification, which provides access to federal set-aside contracts and a 10 percent price evaluation preference.

The firm's leadership team consists of three co-founders: Shaun Wiggins (President and CEO), Samuel Wiggins (COO with prior service as Acting Associate Administrator for Homeland Security at the U.S. EPA and Special Agent in Charge at the Pentagon Force Protection Agency), and Christopher Chambers (EVP and General Counsel). A third co-founder, George Dew, is also referenced. The firm positions itself around the experience of its professionals in intervening on high-profile crises and natural disaster events, with a brand narrative anchored to the Greek god of safety, preservation, and deliverance from harm.

Soteryx operates a sales-led go-to-market with direct consulting engagement and consultation scheduling through its website. Revenue is generated through professional services fees, with no disclosed pricing tiers or contract structures. The firm is privately held with no institutional investors, no disclosed funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity. Its operating footprint is concentrated in North America with aspirational claims of global reach. Distribution relies on direct sales, content marketing through 'The Upload' blog, social media presence on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn, email newsletter, and thought leadership placed in external publications such as NSBA's American School Board Journal.
