Few leaders have had a closer view of how global power is shifting than David Lammy. One of the UK’s most senior statesmen, Lammy served as Foreign Secretary during a period of extraordinary geopolitical upheaval, helping steer British diplomacy through crises in the Middle East and deepening support for Ukraine while navigating a changing relationship with the United States.

From the UK’s reset with Europe to the challenges posed by China and Iran, Lammy has been at the table as governments confront a more volatile world order. His relationships across the Atlantic and beyond give him an unusually global perspective on the decisions shaping international affairs.

On stage, Lammy brings audiences inside the rooms where consequential decisions are made. Drawing on more than two decades at the center of British public life, he offers an authoritative perspective on shifting global power and what geopolitical disruption means for leaders navigating uncertainty.

The world's biggest geopolitical surprises are rarely surprises. We just fail to see the forces driving them.

For decades, Karim Sadjadpour has helped leaders understand the ideologies, ambitions, and historical forces shaping global affairs long before they dominate the headlines. One of the world's foremost experts on Iran and the Middle East, his work goes beyond explaining governments and conflicts. It reveals how power is built, how leaders think, and why seemingly distant events often have profound consequences for global markets, international security, and American foreign policy. Whether advising policymakers, analyzing world events for CNN, or writing award-winning essays for Foreign Affairs and The Atlantic, Sadjadpour has become one of the most trusted interpreters of a rapidly changing world.

He equips audiences to think like strategists, not news consumers. With historical firsthand regional expertise and sharp analysis, Sadjadpour helps organizations make sense of an era defined by geopolitical uncertainty, rising authoritarianism, and shifting global alliances. Audiences leave with a clearer understanding not only of today's headlines, but of the forces that will shape tomorrow's.
