Why geopolitics matter more now for corporations than past decades

Global Guardian CEO Dale Buckner sat down with Yahoo Finance to discuss how geopolitics are changing the risk landscape for businesses around the globe, sharing key takeaways for c-suite executives and board members to ensure they are prepared with effective vendors in place amid this new level of disruption:

“…geopolitics now matter in a way they haven't in decades. That's number one. Number two, if you think that you're protecting your firm, your people because you have insurance, travel insurance or you have a legacy duty of care provider who provides intelligence and alerts and does medical evac, read the fine print of the restrictions.”

“How do you communicate to thousands of people that might not be registered? You don’t have a contact number, you don’t have an email. That in itself of just being able to communicate of where to be, when to be, have a consolidation point and then put them on aircraft, put them on boats, put them on vehicles - it is the greatest challenge.”

CEO Dale Buckner sat down with Kevin Corke on Fox News @ Night to discuss the challenges facing the State Department when evacuating Americans out of Israel and the work Global Guardian is doing to assist in bringing clients home.
