About Me
Welcome!
I help companies and investors with exposure in conflict-affected and high-risk areas conduct the kind of on-the-ground due diligence that regulatory frameworks require, but desk-based risk tools can’t deliver.
For more than two decades, I’ve been translating conflict realities for US government officials, multilateral institutions, and funders making billion-dollar decisions about fragile markets.
I’ve worked across 25+ countries—from the Central African Republic to Iraq to Ukraine. A five-country violent extremism assessment I led informed billions in US government investment in West Africa.
Now I bring that expertise to peace tech founders and responsible businesses who want their operations and products to contribute to resilience and stability.
My services include:
