About the Eurasia GroupEurasia GroupEG_e64928ce-91bd-11ec-bbe2-26c51483ea00Investment CommunityIn 1998, Ian Bremmer founded Eurasia Group, the first firm devoted exclusively to helping investors and business decision-makers understand the impact of politics on the risks and opportunities in foreign markets. Ian's idea—to bring political science to the investment community and to corporate decision-makers—launched an industry and positioned Eurasia Group to become the world leader in political risk analysis and consulting.Business Decision-MakersWorld Policy InstituteStarting with a staff of one based out of a cubicle in the World Policy Institute in New York City, Eurasia Group grew into a company with offices on four continents, providing insight for the world's top corporations and financial institutions. As our name suggests, the firm's original focus was on the emerging states of the former Soviet Union. Since then, we have broadened our expertise to both developed and developing countries in every region of the world, to specific economic sectors, and to the business and investment playing fields of the future.BusinessesWe live in an era of volatility and uncertainty, one that generates both risks and opportunities for businesses and investors around the world. The Eurasia Group logo reflects this view by using the shape of our initials to symbolize a fragmented globe. We are committed to helping our clients understand and navigate this changing geopolitical landscape and to make better-informed decisions in an uncertain world.InvestorsEurasia Group LeadersIAN BREMMERPRESIDENTMAZIAR MINOVICHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERCLIFF KUPCHANCHAIRMANSARAH HENNINGCHIEF OF STAFF, OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENTALEXSANDRA SANFORDCHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, GZERO MEDIAEurasia Group Senior AdvisorsGERALD MICHAEL BUTTSVice Chairman & Senior Advisor ~ FORMER PRINCIPAL SECRETARY TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF CANADAJOHN BAIRDFORMER MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF CANADADIANA FOX CARNEYSENIOR ADVISORSIGMAR GABRIELFORMER VICE CHANCELLOR OF GERMANYDAVID GORDONFORMER CHAIRMAN OF EURASIA GROUPROBERT D.

As leaders face critical decisions about how to grow businesses, cut costs, define future investment allocations, and leave or enter markets, geopolitics and the business environment are wild cards that can make or break a strategy. Often those decisions require deep expertise that in-house teams cannot build fast enough—or an external, independent perspective that can pinpoint overlooked risks and opportunities. Focusing on in-depth engagements and leveraging dedicated project teams, Eurasia Group Consulting supports our clients to address a range of challenges at the intersection of politics and business, including:Plans & ProcessesIncorporate geopolitics into strategic plans and processes._e64933d2-91bd-11ec-bbe2-26c51483ea002.1Strategy development and planning: We work closely with clients to incorporate geopolitics into strategic plans and processes.
