About
I’m Philipp Classen, a business continuity and resilience leader who helps critical organizations prepare for disruption—by turning business needs into practical DR and crisis-management capabilities. Over the last 5+ years, I’ve advised critical-infrastructure, energy, logistics, and defense organizations on operational resilience and cyber risk, building scenario-based frameworks, policies, and tested recovery plans that executives can stand behind.
I enjoy bridging BCM, crisis management, threat modeling, and program leadership so resilience is structured, repeatable, and measurable. I’ve defined business-approved RTO/RPOs, improved ISO 22301/NIS2 readiness, and reduced recovery time for revenue-critical services. Today I apply the same discipline to AI resilience at LUCET, while also running an independent advisory practice through Varde Advisory.
