Client: American Pharma-Medical Tech Firm
Location: Myanmar
Sector: Healthcare Technology
When political landscapes shift rapidly, executive safety can become an immediate operational risk. Amid escalating unrest during the Myanmar army coup, a leading American pharma-medical tech firm required urgent extraction of its senior executives. Navigating a militarised environment, civil disturbances, and logistical uncertainty demanded precision, discretion, and speed.
MitKat Advisory was entrusted with the mission. By deploying specialized Emergency Evacuation Services Myanmar, coupled with adaptive logistics and Close Protection for Expats Myanmar, MitKat ensured a seamless operation despite ongoing turbulence. The extraction was part of broader protocols aligned with our regional Political Crisis Evacuation Asia framework.
The Situation
As political tensions in Myanmar intensified, Yangon and other business zones grew unstable. Senior expatriate executives were scheduled for key meetings but were soon caught amid curfews, shutdowns, and military crackdowns.
The client anticipated the following risks:
- Mobility Restrictions: Rapidly enforced checkpoints and curfews disrupted scheduled movement.
- Communication Breakdown: Patchy networks hindered coordination with HQ and among field units.
- Entrapment Risk: High threat of executives being stranded in unsafe zones.
- Operational Exposure: Continued presence risked reputational sensitivity and safety.
To manage this, the client tasked MitKat Advisory to activate Emergency Evacuation Services Myanmar for a secure and discreet extraction without compromising business continuity.
MitKat’s Response
Risk Assessment
MitKat conducted a real-time threat scan, profiling each visit location, accommodation, and nearby military or protest activity. Scenarios were built around worst-case disruptions tied to Myanmar’s unfolding political crisis.
Route Mapping
Secure transit routes were mapped using local intelligence, satellite data, and diplomatic advisories. Alternate paths were marked to avoid protest hotspots and conflict zones.
Escort Services
MitKat deployed vetted local assets and security operatives to ensure end-to-end transit from airport pickups to business site drops. These operatives provided silent Close Protection for Expats Myanmar, trained to respond to checkpoint inquiries and defuse tension if needed.
Communication Setup
With telecom stability uncertain, we activated layered communication: encrypted WhatsApp groups, emergency satellite messaging, and direct liaison channels with embassy support staff.
Dynamic Support
Our team adapted quickly to curfews, weather disruptions, and itinerary changes. All actions were pre-cleared through command centre control, consistent with our Emergency Evacuation Services Myanmar protocol and broader Political Crisis Evacuation Asia standards.
Result
- All expatriate executives were safely evacuated from high-risk zones without delay
- No confrontation occurred at checkpoints or during movement
- Business continuity was preserved with no reputational or operational fallout
- Emergency Evacuation Services Myanmar were executed with complete discretion
