As we work around the clock to help clients across the globe navigate the Iran conflict's impacts, we’re also equipping our frontline teams to provide deeply informed thought partnership. To that end, we recently welcomed Olivier Guitta, Managing Director at GlobalStrat, to our London office for an in‑depth briefing for GLGers.   Olivier, a leading international security and geopolitical risk expert who has been advising GLG clients for more than 22 years, explored the conflict's incentives, time horizons, escalation risks, and market implications.   Among other focus areas, the discussion covered: * How domestic political constraints in Iran are shaping decision-making * The growing role of regional actors and second‑order escalation risks * Key implications for energy markets and global security   Thank you to Olivier for taking the time to join us in person – and for continuing to support our clients with timely, thoughtful, experience‑led insight into some of the most challenging geopolitical issues of the last two decades.
