Geopolitical Keynote Speakers
Geopolitical strategists and world-class economists who show boards, investors, and leadership teams what global risk actually means for their next decade.
Geopolitics has moved from the back page to the board agenda. Wars, elections, tariffs, energy shocks, and the reordering of supply chains now shape earnings calls as much as any product decision, and leadership teams need more than headlines to plan around them. The speakers on this page read the world for a living. Ian Bremmer built Eurasia Group, the leading political risk consultancy, and briefs the world's largest institutions on where power is shifting. Peter Zeihan maps how demographics and geography will redraw trade and manufacturing. Zanny Minton Beddoes runs The Economist and connects the geopolitical picture to the global economy, while Nouriel Roubini and Mark Zandi translate it all into what markets, rates, and growth will do next. Tell us about your audience and agenda, and we will match you with the voice your room needs.
Global Risk Strategists
Ian Bremmer and Peter Zeihan map the shifting world order: power, geography, and supply chains, translated into board-level strategy.
Ian Bremmer
Founder and president of Eurasia Group, the leading global political risk consultancy, and bestselling author who coined the G-Zero framework. The voice boards and investors call first when they need to know how elections, conflicts, and great-power rivalry will hit strategy and markets.
Peter Zeihan
Geopolitical strategist and bestselling author known for turning demographics, geography, and energy flows into blunt forecasts about deglobalization and supply chains. Gives boards and operating executives a concrete map of where manufacturing, trade, and capital move next, delivered with rare clarity and wit.
Economy and Markets Voices
Zanny Minton Beddoes, Nouriel Roubini, and Mark Zandi connect geopolitics to growth, rates, and markets for investor-grade audiences.
Zanny Minton Beddoes
Editor-in-Chief of The Economist and the first woman to hold the role, with a career spanning the IMF and two decades covering the global economy. Brings a world-spanning read on how geopolitics, trade, and technology are rewiring growth, tailored for boards and investor audiences.
Nouriel Roubini
World-renowned economist famous for calling the 2008 financial crisis, known as Dr. Doom, and bestselling author of MegaThreats. Walks investor and board audiences through the tail risks where geopolitics, debt, and technology collide, and what a resilient portfolio and strategy look like against them.
Mark Zandi
Chief Economist of Moody's Analytics and one of the most widely cited forecasters on the US and global economy, regularly testifying before Congress. Grounds the geopolitical conversation in hard numbers: growth, jobs, rates, and housing, so leadership teams leave with a forecast they can plan against.
The roster covers the full arc of global risk. Ian Bremmer and Peter Zeihan give audiences the strategic map: which regions, alliances, and chokepoints will define the next decade, and what a G-Zero world means for anyone with a global footprint. Zanny Minton Beddoes, Nouriel Roubini, and Mark Zandi carry that analysis into the economy and markets, from inflation and interest rates to the mega-threats that could reshape the financial system.
These speakers are built for rooms where the stakes are real: board retreats, investor conferences, CEO summits, industry congresses, and annual kickoffs where leadership wants a clear-eyed view of the world before setting strategy. Most also excel in moderated Q&A and fireside formats, where executives can press them on the scenarios that matter most. Rave Speakers handles the entire booking, from shortlist to signed agreement to day-of logistics.
