About Karan Chawla

With years of multifaceted experience in Content and Policy Risk Mitigation, Enterprise Risk Management, BCM/Operational Resilience, Security, Safety, and Crisis Management, I bring a strategic approach to risk and crisis operations across dynamic global environments. As a former Merchant Navy Officer and an alumnus of BITS PILANI, I have led teams to handle crisis response, complex executive escalations, and proactive content risk management for India and APAC.My background includes senior roles where I guided teams at the Royal Bank of Scotland to build resilience and continuity programs across technology, property, and supply chain resilience. At Morgan Stanley, I directed BCM and Crisis Management initiatives across India’s Global In-House Centers, streamlining crisis response for a broad range of business units. Prior to this, I managed the Regional Security Operations Center for Fidelity Investments in Bengaluru, leading life safety, asset protection, and crisis management services for APAC offices.Earlier in my career, my Merchant Navy experience included implementing behavioral safety programs, the International Ship and Port Security code, and teaching at maritime colleges. A Certified Business Continuity Professional, Certified Protection Professional, and holder of the CFA Claritas Investment Certificate, I actively engage with various industry organizations to stay at the forefront of the field.
