Herndon-based federal contractor Constellis announced Monday it has promoted Rick Tye as president of the company’s crisis response business.

Joining Constellis in 2017, Tye was most recently the company’s chief growth officer. Darryle Conway will succeed him in this role. Constellis’ crisis response business provides customers with response and planning services to reduce risk, prepare for hazards and recover from crises.

In Tye’s new role, he will focus on Constellis’ crisis response business, including COVID-19 response, fire and emergency services, emergency and disaster response and other priority programs.

“Rick’s new position as president, crisis mitigation, was established to address the need for rapid crisis response solutions within our customer sets,” Constellis CEO Tim Reardon said in a statement. “This is an important new role for Rick and a vital service in today’s environment.”

Founded in 2010, Constellis employs 24,000 people and provides risk management, security, training and operational support in 40 countries.
