It will be a highly bespoke offering built to provide strategic insights on relevant geopolitical trends – advising clients on risks, opportunities, and how key developments may translate into business impact.

Ms. Miscik serves on the boards of Morgan Stanley, General Motors and HP Inc. She also is co-vice chair of the Council on Foreign Relations, a trustee at In-Q-Tel and the chair of the American Ditchley foundation. She previously served from 2009 to 2017 as a member and then co-chair of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board. Earlier in her career, she was Global Head of Sovereign Risk for Lehman Brothers and was previously with the CIA’s Directorate of Intelligence for more than 20 years, ultimately serving as its Deputy Director for Intelligence, where she was responsible for all its analysts and analytics.
