About Me

I’m Dr. Jill Goldenziel—a law professor and strategic advisor who helps government and business leaders navigate a complex world.

I teach international and constitutional law, cyber law, leadership, information warfare, and national security strategy to senior U.S. and foreign military officers at the National Defense University-College of Information and Cyberspace. I am a Fellow with NATO’s SHAPE/ACO Office of Legal Affairs and as an affiliated scholar with the University of Pennsylvania’s Fox Leadership International program. I am a columnist for Forbes and Bloomberg Opinion, where I help business and policy leaders make sense of global threats. I am a Life Member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

But I don’t just study the world—I help shape how leaders respond to it.

I advise business and government executives on geopolitical risk, international security, and leadership. I speak around the world on international and constitutional law, lawfare, migration, cyber conflict, information warfare and how executives can lead more effectively in times of uncertainty. I’ve briefed U.S. Combatant Commands, NATO, Congress, and the United Nations, and I work closely with executives navigating the intersection of global strategy, law, and social impact.

If your team is facing complex strategic questions—or if you simply want to lead better in a volatile world—I’m here to help.

Speaking and Strategic Advising

Whether you're navigating geopolitical risk, responding to new legal challenges, or preparing your organization for the next wave of global disruption, I bring deep, real-world expertise to help you think clearly and act decisively.

I advise companies and governments on:

  • International and constitutional law

  • Information and cyber warfare

  • Lawfare (adversary legal warfare)

  • Threats from a rising China

  • Political and regulatory risk

  • Business and human rights

  • Global migration and climate change

As a speaker, I specialize in making complex issues actionable.

My audiences have included 193 UN Member States, Congress, military leaders from 83 countries, and corporate teams looking to make smarter decisions in the face of global uncertainty. I bring energy, clarity, and real insight to every room I enter—whether it’s a high-level strategy session or a global keynote.

If you're ready for insight that inspires action, let’s talk.
