Tina Fordham is on a mission to transform how the C-Suite, multinationals, and institutional investors think about geopolitics and social change.
A trailblazer in the field of geopolitical risk, Fordham was Wall Street’s original Chief Global Political Analyst, spending 17 years at Citigroup. She created Eurasia Group’s financial markets research business; was appointed to the United Nations’ first High-Level Panel on Women’s Economic Empowerment, and has served as a Senior Adviser to the U.K. prime minister and 3-star generals during her 25-year executive career.
Tina founded Fordham Global Foresight in the weeks after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 after realising that boards and C-Suite leaders were under-prepared for the new era of geopolitical dislocation. Her clients and readers of her column for Forbes are familiar with her signature thesis on “The New Geopolitical Risk Supercycle” and the concept that business leaders need to raise their “PQ”–Political Quotient–to be prepared for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
Tina Fordham is a member of the International Advisory Board for the Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs, her alma mater, and of Concordia’s Advisory Council. She frequently appears on Bloomberg, CNBC, CNN, and Monocle Radio, and hosts “The Navigator”, a global affairs video series produced in collaboration with the London Stock Exchange Group. Tina has been named in the FN100’s “Most Influential Women in European Finance” 5 times, most recently in 2024.
