This is a dangerous and unpredictable world...
From political upheaval in the Middle East to a 16-year-old hacker in Eastern Europe, the world is changing at a fast pace with a geopolitical environment that is becoming increasingly complex. Businesses that don't consider geopolitical risk in their growth strategies not only run the risk of missing key opportunities but fail to manage the peril that unstable political environments create.

We provide information and advisory services to corporations, foreign and domestic government agencies, and individuals. We include in our offerings a comprehensive slate of risk analysis and mitigation services. Our offerings are unique and integrated and combine years of direct industry experience required to navigate today's turbulent world. Our dynamic partnerships with leading firms in the investment, consulting, and broader professional services space complement our comprehensive capabilities and provide our clients with a broad set of solution-based offerings.
