McKinsey Geopolitics
Advisory Council

In a connected yet increasingly contested world, organizations, including ours, are focused on not just strengthening resilience but also on creating value.

Following the establishment of McKinsey’s Geopolitics Advisory Council in 2023, McKinsey’s Geopolitics Practice has further strengthened the Council, whose members will serve as advisers to our firm and sharpen the counsel we provide to our clients.

Council members draw on decades of experience making strategic decisions at the highest levels of government across defense, diplomacy, trade, technology, and the economy.
