Geopolitics on Stage: How Global Speakers Bureau Brings World Leaders to the Forefront

In a world where global events unfold in real time and impact every sector, organizations can’t afford to overlook the importance of geopolitical insight. From international summits to boardroom strategy sessions, the right speaker doesn't just inform, they equip leaders to make confident decisions in a complex landscape.

At Global Speakers Bureau, we represent some of the world’s most influential voices - leaders who’ve shaped national policy, negotiated global alliances, and steered nations through crisis. Each geopolitical keynote speaker we work with brings real-world experience, unmatched credibility, and the ability to inspire critical thinking.

Here’s a closer look at five of our most in-demand global leaders:

Gary Cohn – Global Economic Strategist & Former Director of the U.S. National Economic Council

With a career at the helm of both Wall Street and the White House, Gary Cohn brings an unparalleled understanding of global markets and macroeconomic policy. As a former President of Goldman Sachs and Chief Economic Advisor to President Donald Trump, he offers a unique perspective on U.S.-China relations, trade policy, inflation, and economic recovery. His experience bridging the public and private sectors makes his insights invaluable to financial institutions, corporate boards, and global policy groups alike.

Nouriel Roubini – Economist, Risk Expert, and Author of Megathreats

Often referred to as "Dr. Doom" for his accurate prediction of the 2008 financial crisis, Nouriel Roubini has spent decades analyzing the intersection of geopolitics and economics. Today, he’s sounding the alarm on a new era of interconnected global threats; from climate risk and political instability to digital warfare and deglobalization. His sessions help audiences grasp the larger forces shaping global markets and provide tools for preparing for the next wave of disruption.

Mike Pence – 48th Vice President of the United States

Few figures offer the level of experience and perspective that Mike Pence brings to the global stage. During his tenure as Vice President, Pence played a key role in U.S. foreign and domestic policy, led the White House Coronavirus Task Force, and chaired the National Space Council. His engagements draw on decades of public service and leadership, offering clear, principled commentary on national security, conservative values, diplomacy, and the evolving role of the United States on the world stage.

Sanna Marin – Former Prime Minister of Finland & Strategic Policy Leader

Sanna Marin made history not only as the youngest Prime Minister in Finnish history, but also as a leader who steered her country through major national and global challenges. Under her leadership, Finland’s swift accession to NATO marked a turning point in European security. Known for her focus on climate policy, social equity, and innovation, Marin offers a progressive voice in discussions around strategic autonomy, multilateral cooperation, and the future of democratic leadership.

Julia Gillard – Former Prime Minister of Australia & Advocate for Global Health and Education

Lastly, hosting a prominent speaker can elevate the company’s brand and reputation. By associating with well-known experts such as Steve Chen, Abran Maldonado, and others, companies position themselves as forward-thinking and committed to staying at the forefront of their industries. These events create a powerful narrative that can be shared with clients, partners, and potential hires. A company that hosts industry leaders is viewed as a place where innovation thrives—a company that invests in knowledge, not just profits.

In a competitive business landscape, being seen as a thought leader can open new doors, attract top talent, and enhance relationships with clients and partners. This positioning can also play a key role in building trust, as clients and employees alike are more likely to trust a company that demonstrates its commitment to continuous learning and improvement.
