Geopolitical risks are no longer a fringe issue for companies – external threats are increasingly becoming a central factor in strategic decision-making. This episode of our podcast series “Meet the Geopolitical Insiders” explores this shift. Dr. Benedikt Herles, Co-Lead of the Geopolitics & Defence Competence Center at KPMG in Germany, speaks with Marc Gustafson, Senior Director of Analysis at the Eurasia Group and former Head of the White House Situation Room as well as Chief of Intelligence at the National Security Council, and with Stefano Moritsch, Global Geopolitics Lead at KPMG International. Together, they discuss how the global security environment is changing and what consequences this has for companies. The conversation also touches on hybrid threats and cyber risks, as well as the question of how businesses can better anticipate geopolitical developments.
