Power Geopolitics in a World Re-Ordered: Trade, Technology, Energy & Markets
Geopolitical strategist John Sitilides - National Security Senior Fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute and former U.S. Department of State Diplomacy Consultant (2006-2023) under Presidents Biden, Trump, Obama, and Bush - is a professional speaker at leading corporate, investor, and industry conferences, and before government, military, and intelligence community audiences, on geopolitical and geo-economic risk management and the business impacts of international security policies.
He probes the Trump Administration’s foreign policy, national security, and international trade re-prioritization, concentrating on strategic dominance of the Western Hemisphere; technological competition and military deterrence to constrain China’s disruption of trade and financial systems; global commerce impacts of U.S. tariff policies; new security architectures in Europe and the Middle East; secured supply chains and shipping lanes; and advanced technology impacts on global energy, rare earth, and natural resource markets.
His dispassionate and non-partisan assessment of the multi-faceted geopolitical and geo-economic decisions that shape international markets - using only open-source intelligence against the backdrop of a visually dynamic and highly engaging slide deck using maps, charts, graphs, world leader portraits and zero text - helps corporate executives, investment managers, and civic audiences better understand, anticipate, and mitigate risk on the complex issues that will disrupt and dominate the global landscape for years to come.
