Professional Experience
My expertise lies applying the models, frameworks and tools of the Intelligence Community and Geopolitics to financial and business issues. My current research involves the impact of digital technology on geopolitics and society.
I have a balance of analytical and interpersonal skills developed through 15 years of management consulting, almost a decade of graduate-level teaching, three years on Wall Street, and four years as a Marine Corps officer. I have a BA, an MBA, and an MA and a PhD in International Relations.
I am a member of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, AFIO, and a Fellow of the Salzburg Global Seminar. I am also co-author of Constructing Cassandra: Reframing Intelligence Failure at the CIA, 1947-2001 (Stanford University Press, 2013).
