Founder and President/CEO of the Red Team Analysis Society: geopolitical uncertainty, threats and opportunities, strategic foresight and early warning (SF&W) / risk management consultancy and think tank. We help all actors anticipate for preparedness through early warning and navigate political and geopolitical uncertainties through SF&W and risk management, from scenario-building to monitoring and warning through specific studies and actors' mapping, while developing best practice grounded in science. Our means of actions are training, thinking, researching and writing, and advising. I am passionate about understanding the world and domestic and international political dynamics. The tension between China and the US, paradigmatic changes, climate change and biodiversity loss, the related rise of extreme environments, new tech, pandemics are some examples of issues I keep on the watch.With RTAS, I continued and leveraged the experience, knowledge and network acquired while advising and working for the Global Futures Forum (IGO: multinational partnership of intelligence and security organisations of “friends and allies”), and as an independent political scientist. Working at such a high level with intelligence services in an international setting (in non classified albeit confidential mode) was a unique and formidable experience. These were enlightening and life changing years, involving something I could call the "diplomacy of intelligence" and, of course, the leadership of my community of interest (SF&W). More classically I carried out commissioned reports, fostered the creation of new SF&W capabilities and methodologies, delivered keynote speeches, participated and organised dozens of seminars, expert workshops, and international conf., mainly for and with institutional actors (e.g. EU; Europol; French Gov.; German BMZ, Singapore’s NSCC, PMO; US Department of Energy; US Department of State, etc.). At SciencesPo-PSIA and RSIS Singapore, I taught at Master’s level global risk analysis/SF&W. I have published on strategic foresight, early warning, instability indicators, fragile states, complexity and genocide, and written numerous briefs on various SF&W issues and methodologies, on the Islamic State, on the emerging quantum and AI world from a security, government and international relations points of view.Prior to that, I served as senior analyst in international relations for the European Comm. (Eastern Asia, then Globalisation - for the EU Trade Commissioner), created and headed the Cambodian branch of an NGO and worked in finance.
