Peter founded his own firm — Zeihan on Geopolitics — in 2012 in order to provide a select group of clients with direct, custom analytical products. Today those clients represent a vast array of sectors including energy majors, financial institutions, business associations, agricultural interests, universities and the U.S. military.With a keen eye toward what will drive tomorrow’s headlines, his irreverent approach transforms topics that are normally dense and heavy into accessible, relevant takeaways for audiences of all types.

Peter is a critically-acclaimed author whose first two books — The Accidental Superpower and The Absent Superpower — have been recommended by Mitt Romney, Fareed Zakaria and Ian Bremmer. His latest third title, Disunited Nations: The Scramble for Power in an Ungoverned World became available in March 2020.

Leslie Miller

“Our audience included Fortune 1000 C-level executives, private equity investors, bankers, attorneys, family office professionals and high net worth investors. Peter’s unique geopolitical perspective on historic, current and future events resonated with all parties. It was our most thought provoking event to date. Once you hear him speak you will not look at current global events the same way again.”

CoBank

 

Absolutely fabulous. Brought a young, energetic approach to a tough subject. Gave a deep global perspective while communicating an amazing amount of information in a short period of time. One of our top 5 presentations of all time.

Society of International Business Fellows

 

We have used Stratford/Peter’s services for seven years and found his analysis and presentation to be both insightful and thought provoking. He has been a partner with us as we have grown our hedge fund from $50mm AUM to $2.5bln+.  Anyone looking to better understand global geopolitics and its effect on capital markets should consider having regular de-briefings with Peter.

Rimrock Capital

 

Peter is in the top 5% of all presenters I have seen over the last 30 years. He has the gift to make us all think about the world in a new way. It is important that his articulate message reach the leaders in all industries around the world. We need more Peters to help us cope with all the change coming at us in business.
