Strategic Advisory

I advise global leaders on how to understand and mitigate geopolitical risk. As your strategic advisor, I become a vital member of your team, learning the ins and outs of your business and the threats and opportunities it faces in a rapidly changing world. I apply a proprietary risk management framework, developed based on 15+ years of political science research in the developing world, 8 years working at the United Nations with the public and private sectors on the risks and opportunities of migration, and years teaching and advising on strategic considerations for operational planning for the U.S. Military and civilian agencies. 

Applying my training as a leadership coach, I get to know your team members and help them sharpen their critical thinking skills to make informed decisions involving geopolitical risk. I bring lessons from my work teaching the U.S. Marine Corps–the world’s best team-builders–to help leaders and organizations create environments of trust where all team members will grow and thrive in the face of threats and opportunities.

I can help your organization develop Strategic Plans and conduct research, interviews, and surveys for project development. I integrate academic research and research tools into your programs and strategic plans and make complex research accessible to you and your clients. 

I have consulted for organizations including a major international risk consulting firm, a foundation focused on executive leadership, combatant commands, Marine units, The Henry L. Stimson Center, T’ruah, and the International Institute for Education.
