The firm

Geostrategos is a consulting firm specializing in strategic intelligence, geopolitical risk analysis and foresight, focused on the Andean region and the Caribbean Basin.

We work with companies and institutions operating in environments where decisions depend as much on reading the political context correctly as on reaching the people who shape that context. We offer rigorous analysis of the environment and genuine capacity to build relationships with key decision-makers.

Our established relationships in Colombia and Venezuela allow our clients to navigate these environments judiciously and with open doors.
