Organisations operating in complex or fast-changing environments need more than information. They need to understand what is happening, why it matters and how it may affect their people, operations and strategic decisions.
I provide independent intelligence and risk advisory services focused primarily on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). I combine geopolitical analysis, knowledge of local context and practical risk assessment to help clients navigate uncertainty and make informed decisions.
What I can help with
- Geopolitical IntelligenceAnalysis of political, security, economic and social developments, key actors and emerging trends that may affect an organisation or its interests.
- Country Risk AssessmentAssessment of the political, security and operational environment in a specific country or market, with a focus on issues relevant to the client's activities.
- Operational RiskIdentification and assessment of risks that may affect people, projects, operations or business continuity in complex environments.
- Market Entry & ExpansionRisk-informed analysis for organisations considering entering a new market, establishing operations or expanding their existing presence.
- Strategic Risk AnalysisStructured assessment of emerging risks, scenarios and developments that may influence strategic decisions.
How I work
I focus on turning complex information into analysis that decision-makers can use.
Rather than providing information for its own sake, I identify the issues that matter, place them in context and translate them into practical implications for decision-making.
Typical outcomes
Depending on the assignment, the work may result in:
- strategic intelligence briefings
- country or regional risk assessments
- decision-support analysis
- risk and scenario assessments
- executive briefings
- tailored intelligence reports
- recommendations for further risk mitigation or preparedness
The aim is to understand the environment well enough to make better-informed decisions.
