CAIRD Sextant LLC is a minority owned and operated emerging Small Disadvantaged Business. It was established in October 2013 with the goal of providing the best environmental security  and management support to government, commercial and non-governmental organizations (NGO).  CAIRD Sextant has developed professional relationships with an array of small business and independent consultants distributed across the nation, including the Caribbean, to create a cloud of subject matter experts ready to provide support to its clients. 

The firm’s name is inspired by the incredible feat accomplish by Sir Ernest Shackleton in 1916.  Shackleton, after losing his ship during an Antarctic expedition and spending a winter on the ice, he reached Elephant Island, an inhospitable location in the Antarctic ocean.  From there, he  took a 20 foot whale boat, the JAMES CAIRD, a sextant, and his best 5 sailors and successfully navigate more than 720 nautical miles through the most dangerous ocean in the world in search of help for the rest of his crew.  Fifteen days later, Shackleton reached  South Georgia Island, and from there, he  returned with a ship to rescue his crew without losing a single man.  He demonstrated that difficult challenges could be solved with simple tools in the hands of talented and determined people.  CAIRD Sextant brings this philosophy to its clients.
