Where geopolitics meets strategy

Geopolitical Strategy is a boutique advisory firm. We help investors and businesses make better decisions on international strategy, investment and operations in a volatile world.

Geopolitics is quickly changing as we transition to a multipolar world. Changes include more conflict, fragmentation and trade barriers.

Firms and investors face unprecedented risk. All business functions are affected, from M&A to consumer sentiment to supply chains. And, above all, valuations are impacted by geopolitical uncertainty and the proliferation of wars and trade barriers.

  • 66% of businesses report geopolitical instability as their top risk (McKinsey, 2023).

  • 97% of CEOs altered their planned strategies in response to a changing geopolitical environment (EY, 2023).

  • 45% of board members say geopolitical events will have a severe impact on their organisation during the next twelve months (EY, 2023).

  • 74% of firms experienced a political risk loss in 2021, including currency transfer restrictions, trade restrictions, expropriation, and instability (WTW, 2022).

Geopolitical Strategy is a new approach.

We are a specialist team of experienced diplomats, supported by a network of geopolitical experts. We help firms, investors, and family offices as well as chief executives, directors and audit and risk committees, to understand geopolitical change, manage and mitigate risk, and develop internal capabilities in geopolitical analysis and strategy.
