Olivier Guitta Speaking Topics

HOW TO MITIGATE GEOPOLITICS IN YOUR BUSINESS
No one has the luxury today of ignoring geopolitics. If you do, it's at your own risk, and the consequences could be devastating. Your competition could leave you behind even if you offer a better product or service. World events no longer stay in their lane. What happens in Brussels, Beijing or Beirut lands on boardroom agendas within days.
Multinational companies have been sued for ignoring geopolitical risk and putting their people in harm's way. Some countries are even making it compulsory for large corporations to include geopolitics in their risk assessment of markets where they are present.
This speech will allow you to garner the tools needed to stay ahead of the curve, choose international markets and likely avoid lawsuits. This will also address why geopolitical literacy has become a leadership essential, and what it costs when it is treated as someone else's concern.
WHY IT MATTERS TO YOUR ROOM
A clear-eyed view of where the exposure actually sits, and the confidence to make the call instead of second-guessing it.

HOW TO USE GEOPOLITICS IN FINANCIAL MARKETS
Built for finance and investment audiences, this session maps the developments most likely to affect confidence, exposure and strategic positioning, and what to do before they arrive. Political decisions move markets. Elections reshape trade. Conflicts reprice risk.
This speech will focus on how you can incorporate geopolitical risk in your investment matrix. Stop being surprised by unexpected events that will shape financial markets in the short and medium term. What would you have done if you had known that Russia was going to invade Ukraine in 2022? And what about two Middle East wars in less than 9 months?
Olivier Guitta will show you how to be more in control when it comes to geopolitics, knowing which way to lean before the position is already crowded, not after, so the edge shows up as a decision made a week before the headline, not a week after.
WHY IT MATTERS TO YOUR ROOM
The next move in markets is being shaped by a decision somewhere in the world right now. This session shows your team how to read it before the headline does.
