Biography

How will the world be changed and challenged over the next 100 years? This is the very question which sits at the core of Klisman Murati’s work. In answering it, he has pioneered a new way of mapping the future of global development which challenges the status quo of short-term thinking that is so frequently found in corporations, investment houses and governments around the world.

Using innovations like the Global Power Index, Murati has the exceptional ability to forecast the future of entire countries. He does this by uncovering the origins and fundamentals of power, and how Globalisation, Geopolitics, Transformative Technology and Societal Change (the Global 4) shape our daily lives. He provides his international audience of business leaders, investors and policy makers with the tools to think long term, so they can understand not only how, but more importantly why the Global 4 are converging, so they can create more successful long-term business, investing and policy strategy.

Murati speaks with originality and authority on topics like the future of fintech, the energy transition, geo-economic decoupling, the widening wealth gap, the effectiveness of ESG, the impact of changing demographics, outer space security and more to audiences including KPMG, HSBC, Chatham House, NATO, UAE Central Bank and Lloyds of London etc. He has also authored 250+ articles and thought pieces on important global economic and political issues. His views on global geo-economic issues are widely cited by the media, and he is a frequent commentator on various business news programs and publications including the FT, Investment Week, BBC News and Al Jazeera.

In a world which is increasingly polarised, Murati is not afraid to take real positions on important issues and is able to argue them coherently, without being argumentative or dogmatic. This refreshingly candid approach not only informs but also empowers his audiences to think differently in order to meet the complex challenges of today and tomorrow with confidence.

He holds a BSc Hons in Social Anthropology & Human Rights and an MSc in Security Studies from the University College London. Additionally, he has a specialist certificate in Financial Crime Risk in Global Banking & Markets, and an Executive Certificate in Outer Space Studies from the Geneva Centre for Security Policy.

“I’ve known Klisman for quite some time and I find myself fascinated by his insights. He has the ability to connect seemingly unconnected dots to come up with ideas, answers, and thought pieces relating to geopolitics, technology, the environment, and others. On top of this, he’s a really nice person!” Richard Philbin, Chief Investment Officer | Wellian Investment Solutions
“Klisman is a success story, an influencer who is not afraid of speaking out his always well-reasoned opinions. A public speaker of excellence, he is a firm believer that life is a continuous interactive learning experience and that clearly gives him the edge.” Duate Pedreira, ITFA Board Member & Head of Trade Finance | Crown Agents Bank
“Klisman delivered a speech that was really interesting and inspiring. His capability to catch the attention of the audience was astonishing. I appreciated the deep knowledge he has and his ability to communicate it." General Ivan Caruso, Commander of the Italian Special Forces | Italian Army
“Klisman understands the geopolitical and human aspects that others miss, his attention to detail and insight are valuable for any Family Office and those focused upon social or impact investments. While many miss global problems and they are slow to respond, Klisman, by comparison, is on it!” Olivia Cooper, Head of Private Wealth & Family Office | Axiom Stone
“I saw Klisman Murati having a presentation in Helsinki, Finland on the 27th of Feb, 2020 on ‘How is geopolitics going to affect trade in 2020?’. His presentation was interesting and well structured" HarriRantanen, Business Developer | SEB
“Klisman’s overview of the different regions, trade relations, and connections and how they evolve over time till today was really interesting. I found it really relevant how areas of influence change and how this impacts the global economy and world order. Very good high and micro-level overview summarized to give the most valuable information aligned with the audience.” Nadia Dobreva, Trade Finance Sales | Credit Agricole
"Klisman gave an insightful and engaging talk on ESG investing. He has an in-depth and multi-faceted understanding of ESG drivers and was able to coherently explain his viewpoints. He took real positions on issues many others tend to gloss over... would definitely recommend Klisman as a speaker." Luke Wilcox, Founder | Ethos
“Looking at the complexities of today’s world, how power operates is key. I was therefore interested to see that this is also the starting point of Pareto Economics’ approach to understanding global issues, and it underpins its Global Power Index. I am glad to see Klisman Murati champion this more eclectic approach, looking at diverse sources of influence, and how they feed off each other." Cho Khong, Chief Political Analyst | Shell International
“It was a real pleasure to have Klisman present to our Board of Directors. His presentation focused on the index data created by Pareto and how Argentina ranks in the world. What struck me the most was their definition of power as the ability to secure your own interests. Klisman is clear and precise and provides a tool that fits all industries, particularly exporters looking for new markets. I highly recommend his services. Susana Ecclestone, Executive Director | British Argentine Chamber of Commerce
“Klisman is a thought leader on multifaceted, macroeconomic developments that impact our everyday business landscape. His insights and analysis have significantly impacted the shaping of our short and long term strategy in a volatile global environment. I recommend Kilsman to other business leaders who are looking for measured analyses on topics that determine investment for growth." Jay Henderek, National Accounts| Apex Tool Group
