I am a geopolitical strategist, investor, and writer with a focus on the changing world order, currently building within the 2040 nexus: 2040 World, a thought leadership platform 2040 Ventures, vehicle to enable early-stage technology focused on decentralization 2040 Advisory, counsel to investment offices to navigate the tides At heart, I’m a writer. You can find me on Substack (Geopolitico.com) or my fledgling podcast (appropriately named 2040 World). Last year, I released Middle East in Crisis & Conflict: A Primer, a leading overview of the crisis still unfolding in Gaza and Israel. This month, you’ll see a book on how to navigate the current U.S. administration (stay tuned for that!). For two decades, I’ve been everywhere, enabling global partnerships, transitional governments, and movements for change. Even when I succeeded on the surface, this often failed, but I learned a lot. You can find me quoted randomly in the Financial Times, Washington Post, New York Times, Bloomberg, CNN, CNBC, Al Jazeera, Arab News, and more. I believe that the next four years will be the most amazing period of our lifetimes, but they will also be full of trials and tribulations. I’m ready; are you? ps originally from Vancouver, Canada, made Dubai my base for a while, and am now in New York when not circulating and percolating.
