In your own words what do you do?
Many companies penetrate markets which are in war or crisis areas or just in unsafe environments. NGOs do great work in such areas and journalists as well. All these activities carry a big risk and you have to know this. This is where I come in. For these clients I define precisely the risk, threat and crisis of such areas through analysis. I deliver them a precise overview of the events and work out what that can mean for their projects. It all goes over analyses in the current conflicts or circumstances in the country. Who is involved and what is the political situation. What areas are most at risk? And on the basis of it, an accurate concept will be produced for the customer, to reduce those risks as much as possible. Intercultural competence also plays an important role. Also, I work with a large network of experts in this area and can handle many aspects which needed to keep in mind. Lectures focusing on terrorism and its effects are another field of my business.
