Dale Buckner, the CEO of Global Guardian, states, “The international business landscape has undergone significant transformations over the past few decades, fundamentally altering the way companies operate abroad. Former pillars such as American security dominance, open navigation, nuclear disarmament, and barriers to large-scale conflicts have all but vanished. Today, we find ourselves in a world of interconnectedness without the cohesive unity of international cooperation. Geopolitical dynamics have become a paramount concern for businesses, surpassing the purview of traditional risk management sectors like travel, compliance, and operations.”
