Biography

If there was ever a voice who made the intimidating approachable and the complex accessible it would be Klisman Murati.

Sitting at the cross roads of geo-economics, leadership, and risk management, Murati doesn’t just analyse the world – he rewrites how leaders conquer it. As the Founder & CEO behind Pareto Economics, he helps governments change the trajectory of their country with smarter nation building strategies, investors to make more informed capital allocations and corporate strategy leaders to undertake hard decisions with more confidence.

His edge? The Global Power Index (GPI), the world’s most advanced tool that can forecast the future of 194 countries, which he created. This isn’t theory—it’s a weapon for action, trusted by titans like Shell, J.P. Morgan, the United Nations and countries themselves to outmanoeuvre risk and seize opportunity in a chaotic global landscape.

With a razor-sharp mind forged across rigorous academia, real world experience and a global perspective, Murati dismantles conventional wisdom and rebuilds it from first principles. His insights—delivered with candid precision—has equipped corporate titans, investors, and governments from over 120 countries to anticipate volatility, hedge uncertainty, and craft unshakable strategies for the short, medium, and long term. From shaping government policy to influencing corporate strategy, he’s not just a thought leader—he’s a force multiplier.

Murati’s keynotes don’t inspire—they ignite. Whether unveiling adaptive frameworks for geopolitical resilience or forecasting the drivers behind market-shaping trends, he tailors every word to his audience, turning complexity into clarity and doubt into decisive moves. Leaders don’t just listen to Klisman—they lean on him to stay ahead of a world in flux. At the nexus of policymaking, investment, and corporate strategy, Murati isn’t predicting the future—he’s handing you the tools to shape it.

“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
