Odin Johannesen, Director, Norwegian Business Security Council (NSR)

"Geopolitical uncertainty and climate change are increasing the need for food preparedness and more robust value chains. While Norway has broad political support for greater self-sufficiency, it still depends on stable trade for goods and inputs it cannot produce. We discuss how to balance these needs and strengthen cooperation with the Nordic region and Europe."

Audun Kolstad Wiig, Subject Matter Expert Geopolitical Risk in DNB and Arne Hjeltnes

Audun works on integrating geopolitical considerations into risk management. I also engage extensively with clients—not to provide specific advice, but to assist in contextualizing and enhancing understanding of ongoing developments.
