National Media Expertise

Provides independent, nonpartisan analysis of global affairs, national security, intelligence, defense policy, and other critical issues. Having spent decades in the rooms where policy and operational decisions are made, brings that perspective to complex political, technological, economic, and geopolitical developments, explaining them clearly and in practical terms. The focus is simple: what is happening, why it matters, and what audiences should be watching next.

Snydicated Media Commentary

Frequently called upon by national, international, and regional media to provide timely analysis of rapidly evolving national security and geopolitical developments.

This same analytical approach supports organizations navigating uncertainty, evaluating risk, and making informed decisions in an increasingly interconnected global environment.

These engagements help bridge governments, cultures, and organizations, while providing practical insight into how geopolitical developments affect policy, security, investment, and decision-making across borders.

Print and Digital Outlets

Provides analysis to both U.S. and international media on defense policy, international security, U.S. alliances, sanctions, foreign military sales, deterrence, and broader geopolitical developments.
