How Courtney is building a better working world
“I help companies to understand the political risks that they face today and to anticipate the risks that are coming around the corner.
Geopolitical risk is just one aspect of my work. Given that inequality and climate change are two of the most crucial challenges that society faces today, I believe that political risk management must address these issues as well.
The insights that I generate help executives to view these societal issues in a broader political risk context and manage these risks by addressing the concerns of stakeholders, including employees, customers and the broader community.
This contributes to a better working world by improving business resilience and generating long-term value for all stakeholders.”
