Managing digital risks in a connected world.

Artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and other new and emerging digital technologies are generating innovative business models, catalyzing new regulations, and reshaping global economic competition.

We help directors, officers, and other senior leaders navigate these crosscurrents—and discover opportunities where others see risks.

Expertise where business, technology & geopolitics meet.

In free societies, security, prosperity, and innovation are strategic complements, not competitors. We’ve advised U.S. presidents, C-Suite executives, corporate boards, international investors, and members of Congress. We’re deep on substance, with political instincts honed in some of the most intense and demanding of situations.
