James Stavridis

Admiral James Stavridis, drawing on his time as Supreme Allied Commander of NATO and later as Dean of an International Law School, will take the audience on a tour of the world geopolitically, discussing conflict in the Middle East, the war in Ukraine, US-China relations in the Pacific, and cybersecurity. Calling on his current role as Vice Chairman of Carlyle, one of the largest private equity firms in the world, he will also assess the impact of geopolitics on the global economy, the efficacy of sanctions, and the role of China economically. Admiral Stavridis concludes with a variety of ideas on investment implications of this turbulent geopolitical period, especially given the new Trump Administration. This tour d’horizon is very effective for business audiences investing worldwide, but is also fascinating for the general public.
