Virtual Careers Event with Political Risk Analyst, Carlo Gallo

Over about 45-60 minutes, Dr Carlo Gallo will define 'political risk analysis' and explain why businesses need it. His talk will also:

• Identify the main players supplying this type of analysis, and explain how they go about producing it
• Discuss how dominant consulting approaches relate to the academic study of relevant social phenomena
• Discuss other types of 'business intelligence,' such as due diligence research
• Highlight the skills and educational experiences that employers tend to look for when seeking to hire political risk analysts

After the talk, there will be at least 30 minutes for questions from the audience.
