Myanmar Crisis Management Workshop by Control Risks

John Bray is a risk consultant and policy specialist with more than 35 years’ experience in Asia, Europe and Africa. His particular areas of expertise include: anti-corruption strategies for the private sector; business and human rights; and private sector policy issues in conflict-affected areas. His association with Myanmar dates back to the 1990s when, in addition to client assignments, he prepared a series of analytical studies on the country for the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House) in London. He is currently based in Singapore.

John’s pre-coup engagement with Myanmar included:
• Working with a development agency to develop a business integrity framework to guide its engagement with the private sector;
• Advising an international company on the human rights implications of its corporate engagement programme in Myanmar;
• Conducting a ‘mid-term review’ on behalf of donors for a Yangon-based NGO specialising in corporate responsibility.

Since the coup he has been working with a range of Control Risks clients with interests in Myanmar to help them plan their response strategies.
