Episode 7: Henry Smith
How Global CEOs are Navigating the Sanctions Landscape
Listen to This Episode
In recent decades, multinational companies have pursued market opportunities around the world, creating complex supply chains and financial structures in the process. But what was once a world of expanding opportunity is increasingly a world of encroaching risk. With sanctions and export controls imposed on a growing list of countries, including major economies like Iran and Russia, multinational companies have had to scale back or even exit markets. Now, CEOs are wondering where sanctions might hit next and how they can shield their businesses from emerging risks.
Henry Smith is a partner at Control Risks, where he leads the company’s business intelligence and due diligence practice in EMEA. Henry advises global companies on how to adjust acquisition and growth strategies in the face of a changing sanctions landscape.
