John Sitilides Speaker Biography


As Diplomacy Consultant to the U.S. Department of State under Presidents Biden, Trump, Obama, and Bush, training American foreign policy professionals since 2006, and currently serving as Senior Fellow for National Security at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, geopolitical strategist and international relations specialist John Sitilides simplifies complex foreign policy and international security trends in dispassionate and non-partisan keynote presentations and private briefings for executives in corporate planning and investment management across multiple sectors.

He brings nearly four decades of political, business, and foreign policy analysis and experience in Washington, D.C., New York, and California to inform investor, corporate, government, and civic leadership audiences of U.S. and global risk trends, international threat assessments, and geopolitical strategies, helping audiences understand and address the profound challenges in today’s security and diplomacy landscapes.

He launched his career in the U.S. Senate, and directed two respected international relations institutes in Washington D.C., including at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. Sitilides is a respected national security commentator, often featured on Bloomberg News and other media outlets. Holding a Master’s Degree in International Affairs from Columbia University, Sitilides brings a wealth of knowledge to enlighten audiences on international relations and security policy.

Trump & the World: The New Geopolitics of Trade, Energy, Diplomacy, and War

Geopolitical strategist John Sitilides, who is Senior Fellow for National Security at the Foreign Policy Research Institute and was a State Department Diplomacy Consultant during President-elect Donald Trump’s first presidential term (2017-2021), is a professional speaker at corporate, investor, and industry conferences, and before government, military, and intelligence community audiences, on geopolitical risk management and the business impacts of international security policies. He probes the incoming Trump Administration’s foreign policy, national security, international trade, and global affairs priorities and strategies for the next four years, and assesses the complex geopolitical and geo-economic decisions that impact markets in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and worldwide, helping corporate executives, investment managers and civic audiences better understand, anticipate, and mitigate risk.
