Where Geopolitics Meets Strategy

Geopolitical Strategy is a geopolitical advisory firm with offices in Paris, Sydney and Geneva.

Geopolitical risks are no longer abstract concerns for the private sector — they’re shaping global markets, disrupting operations, and altering investment strategies in real time. All too often, however, businesses lack the expertise, systems and networks to track, understand and manage global risks.

At Geopolitical Strategy, we provide a diplomatic and intelligence service for the private sector. We advise decision-makers with precise, tailored and high-value counsel from senior, deeply experienced advisors who have spent decades advising world leaders, foreign ministers, and CEOs.

Our team is composed exclusively of practitioners of international relations – former diplomats, ambassadors, and senior intelligence officers. We think globally, with a deep understanding of how the world truly works. And we deliver clear, actionable insights without unnecessary complexity and without bias.

Our Services

At Geopolitical Strategy, we provide our clients with the same level of service we have given to world leaders, foreign ministers and heads of international organisations.

Mapping Geopolitics — Understanding Risks & Opportunities

Understanding the geopolitical transition is crucial for long-term success. But it is not straightforward, requiring extensive networks, sound judgment and expertise to identify and assess the most relevant risks to your markets, supply chains and capital allocations.

We deliver customised risk assessments that focus on geopolitical challenges relevant to your business or investment. We also work with leadership teams through geopolitical scenario planning workshops, exploring potential futures to anticipate how global events could impact operations and investments — and how leaders can strategically respond. And we provide access to our exclusive annual report detailing the top risks to global businesses and investors to help benchmark corporate and investor strategies.

Monitoring Geopolitics — Real-Time Insights that Matter

Staying informed about geopolitical developments is essential for any business leader managing global operations or international portfolios. But monitoring geopolitics is challenging — the news is unfiltered, media monitoring is shallow, and the best experts often reside in government.

We help companies stay on top of geopolitical developments using diplomatic and intelligence tradecraft. We do not rely only on data or economic theories. We speak to our contacts. We travel. And we brief our clients as we did presidents and prime ministers — with timely, informed and highly contextual strategic analysis relevant to our client’s interests.

We provide tailored weekly or bi-weekly monitoring of geopolitical developments identified as core risks to our client’s interests designed for boards and C-suite. In our daily executive briefing, we provide concise analyses of the top geopolitical developments impacting global markets designed to build our client’s geopolitical acumen and manage cross-functional risks. And our flagship in-depth scenario reports provide probabilistic assessments on the most important global matters allowing investors and companies to identify where market consensus may be misplaced — and where strategic advantage gained.

Managing Geopolitics — Strategic Counsel on Demand

In times of geopolitical disruption, having immediate access to expert advice is essential. Just as foreign ministers have advisors on call, so do our clients.

We provide 24/7 real-time strategic counsel. Our team of former ambassadors, diplomats and intelligence analysts remain on-call to ensure your business can respond effectively both to crises and long-term trends as adroitly as a foreign ministry.

We provide real-time support through expert guidance in response to urgent geopolitical developments demanding rapid risk assessments and strategic communications. Our Chief Strategist and senior advisors have dedicated regular calls with clients to provide ongoing strategic counsel tailored to their business needs. And our clients gain access to our exclusive private roundtables and events featuring experts from our global network.
