At Global South Strategic Intelligence (GSSI), we provide non-consensus analysis of geopolitical risk, macroeconomic realities, and the hidden architecture of power.
Conventional Analysis is No Longer Sufficient
Leaders today are forced to make high-stakes decisions based on consensus-driven geopolitical narratives that are often disconnected from the fiscal and institutional realities on the ground. This dangerous analytical gap leads to catastrophic miscalculations, stranded assets, and missed opportunities. Standard analysis sees the facade; our mission is to provide the missing ‘X-Ray’—giving our clients a decisive advantage.
A Fused, Structural Approach to Intelligence
Predictive Geopolitical Analysis
We model institutional resilience and crisis response, stress-testing flawed assumptions to provide a more realistic picture of state-level risk.
Forensic Macroeconomic Analysis
We conduct granular, investment-banking-grade dissections of national budgets and fiscal structures to reveal a state's true economic capacity and constraints.
Structural Governance Analysis
We deconstruct the hidden legal, procedural, and historical levers of power that operate behind the public constitutional facade.

His work at the intersection of global finance and sovereign reality, including deep engagement with World Bank, ECA, and DFI-backed lending structures, provided him with a unique, ground-truth perspective on the failure of conventional analysis. He applies this institutional underwriting rigor to provide clients with a decisive strategic advantage.
