Select Testimonials

“Your passion for and understanding of the strategic geopolitical challenges facing the United States and global community are inspiring. Your presentation was excellent.”

Al Checchi, Checchi Capital Advisers LLC

“May be the most fascinating presentation I have ever seen at an event. Global geopolitics and the impact on trade, economies, and business. This is brilliant.”

Christopher Barger, Senior Communications Director, Society of Manufacturing Engineers

“Your presentation was absolutely fascinating and one of the most interesting presentations I have ever attended.”

Christopher Gimson, Director, Aon Risk Solutions/Global Broking Centre

“John Sitilides gave our keynote talk on geo-political risks at the GAIM Ops Cayman event in April 2017, a 500+ person event for COO/CCO/CFOs in the alternative investment industry. I’ve been working in conferences for 5 years and I can honestly say it was one of the best talks I’ve seen. John provided fascinating insights on geo-political issues including Russia, China, the Middle East, North Korea and Europe – using simple techniques like turning maps on their side to really bring a new perspective to understanding the issues and appreciating their significance on a whole new level. Mixed with cutting edge and up-to-date knowledge of the topics and latest political developments, and the fact John is an excellent and engaging speaker, made for a fascinating presentation. Our audience loved it. The room was packed and it’s been rated as a favorite session by many of the attendees. John is top of my list for any geo-political analysis in the future.”

Cosimo Montagu, Director & Editor-in-Chief, GAIM Ops & GAIM | KNect365

“Consistently rated your sessions as the very best - your expertise … is unequalled.”

Department of Military Strategy and Operations, National War College

“Your U.S. Naval War College presentation on "The Grand Arc of Economic Geography: Shaping the 21st Century" was very well received by our students and faculty. The audience appreciated the length and breadth of your analysis, and the presentation both of a compelling "big picture" as to where the world is heading in both geopolitical and geo-economic terms, and the ways in which you connected "dots" in East and South Asia, Latin America, Africa and Europe together. It was a masterful performance and one that has provoked ongoing discussion and debate.”

Dr. Nikolas K. Gvosdev, Captain Jerome E. Levy Chair of Economic Geography and National Security, U.S. Naval War College
