Klisman Murati is a geoeconomic strategist, global forecaster and keynote speaker whose work sits at the intersection of geoeconomics, data, finance and nation building. Policy makers, investors and corporate leaders, turn to him when they need a sharp, data backed and business first take on global affairs and can identify what the consensus is missing, and why. His method is first-principles reasoning: stripping inherited assumptions from a problem and rebuilding the analysis from the ground up, using data and structural logic rather than precedent or received wisdom.
This approach produced the Global Power Index — a proprietary quantitative framework that assesses 194 countries across ten dimensions of power and development. The GPI doesn’t just measure the world differently. It called outcomes others missed: forecasting Russia's invasion of Ukraine before it happened, correctly predicting Germany's 2024 recession, and the US, Israel - Iran conflict – it can identify structural fragilities in markets that consensus analysis overlooked. It is now trusted by institutions including NATO, HSBC, AIRBUS, the European Commission, Vanguard, Shell and JP Morgan.
As a keynote speaker, Murati brings this methodology directly into the room. Whether addressing corporate boards, investor summits, government forums, or industry conferences, he equips audiences with a fundamentally better way to assess risk, evaluate opportunity, and make decisions under uncertainty. His keynotes are bespoke — built around the specific strategic challenges facing each audience — and are known for their clarity, counterintuitive insights, and immediate applicability.
Murati serves as a Visiting Professor at the Helsinki Geoeconomics Institute and holds degrees spanning anthropology, political economy, energy policy, security studies, financial crime, and outer space governance. This deliberate multidisciplinary foundation is what allows him to see connections that single discipline specialists miss — and to build frameworks that work across domains, not just within them.
“Looking at the complexities of today’s world, how power operates is key. I was therefore interested to see that this is also the starting point of Pareto Economics’ approach to understanding global issues, and it underpins its Global Power Index. I am glad to see Klisman Murati champion this more eclectic approach, looking at diverse sources of influence, and how they feed off each other.”

“Klisman understands the geopolitical and human aspects that others miss, his attention to detail and insight are valuable for any Family Office and those focused upon social or impact investments. While many miss global problems and they are slow to respond, Klisman, by comparison, is on it!”
– Olivia Cooper, Head of Private Wealth & Family Office | Axiom Stone Law
Klisman has the ability to connect seemingly unconnected dots to come up with ideas, answers, and thought pieces relating to geopolitics, technology, the environment, and others. On top of this, he’s a really nice person!”
