In an increasingly complex and interconnected world, the navigating of geopolitical issues has become essential for corporate leaders. Recognizing this growing need, Consello, a leading global advisory and investment platform, has taken a significant step in enhancing its UK geopolitical advisory services with the recent appointment of Wolfango 'Wolf' Piccoli as Managing Director for Geopolitics.

A Wealth of Experience at Hand

His extensive educational background includes a Ph.D. in International Politics from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, and a Master’s degree in International Relations from Bilkent University.

Addressing Geopolitical Disruption

The importance of geopolitical intelligence has become increasingly clear for today's executives, who face myriad challenges in a rapidly changing landscape. Under Piccoli's leadership, Consello aims to provide its clients actionable insights and strategic guidance. This will include critical areas such as regulatory risks, supply chain resilience, market diversification, and reputational management.

Declan Kelly, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Consello, stated, “Geopolitical disruption is rapidly becoming a primary concern for business leaders. In an era defined by complex trade relations and financial turbulence, it is crucial for executives to have access to integrated counsel as they navigate these challenges.” Kelly emphasized that Piccoli’s rich background and deep understanding of historical political complexities make him an invaluable asset to the firm.

Both Kelly and Piccoli echoed excitement over this new partnership. Piccoli remarked, “I am thrilled to join Consello at this pivotal moment when geopolitics has moved to the forefront of corporate strategy. My goal is to collaborate with this talented team to enhance our geopolitical advisory services, empowering our clients to thrive amid global uncertainties.”
