LEADERSHIP
Dr. Chris Marrison - Chief Executive Officer
As CEO, Chris Marrison serves as leader of Risk Integrated, setting the company’s directives and overseeing operations. Leveraging his broad base of experience in risk management for credit risk, market risk, business control, asset and liability management, commercial real estate and project finance, he also leads the risk methodology work for our diverse clients.
Chris founded Risk Integrated in partnership with Yusuf Jafry in 2001 after identifying the need for a sophisticated risk management system that could be fully integrated into an organization’s existing business processes—essentially automating the consulting process.

He earned his doctorate in engineering from Princeton University in 1995, completing his thesis on the risk assessment of aircraft control systems.
Before founding Risk Integrated, Chris was a Managing Principal with the Capital Markets Company and Senior Engagement Manager at the Oliver Wyman Group. He also served in the Royal Air Force as an engineering officer. Chris is the author of The Fundamentals of Risk Measurement (McGraw Hill 2002), as well as numerous papers dealing with risk.
