Klisman Murati's speaking fee falls within range: $30,000 to $50,000
Klisman Murati is a geoeconomic strategist, global forecaster and keynote speaker whose work sits at the intersection of geoeconomics, data, finance and nation building. Policy makers, investors and corporate leaders, turn to him when they need a sharp, data backed and business first take on global affairs and can identify what the consensus is missing, and why. His method is first-principles reasoning: stripping inherited assumptions from a problem and rebuilding the analysis from the ground up, using data and structural logic rather than precedent or received wisdom.
This approach produced the Global Power Index — a proprietary quantitative framework that assesses 194 countries across ten dimensions of power and development. The GPI doesn’t just measure the world differently. It called outcomes others missed: forecasting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine before it happened, correctly predicting Germany’s 2024 recession, and the US, Israel – Iran conflict – it can identify structural fragilities in markets that consensus analysis overlooked. It is now trusted by institutions including NATO, HSBC, AIRBUS, the European Commission, Vanguard, Shell and JP Morgan.
As a keynote speaker, Murati brings this methodology directly into the room. Whether addressing corporate boards, investor summits, government forums, or industry conferences, he equips audiences with a fundamentally better way to assess risk, evaluate opportunity, and make decisions under uncertainty. His keynotes are bespoke — built around the specific strategic challenges facing each audience — and are known for their clarity, counterintuitive insights, and immediate applicability.
Murati serves as a Visiting Professor at the Helsinki Geoeconomics Institute and holds degrees spanning anthropology, political economy, energy policy, security studies, financial crime, and outer space governance.
This deliberate multidisciplinary foundation is what allows him to see connections that single discipline specialists miss — and to build frameworks that work across domains, not just within them.
Building geoeconomic IQ: How to Lead and Build Resilience in a Fractured World
The rules that governed global commerce for three decades are being rewritten in real time. Trade is being weaponised, supply chains restructured along political lines, and economic policy is increasingly indistinguishable from foreign policy. Drawing on the Global Power Index, Murati equips leaders with the framework to read geoeconomic risk before it hits their balance sheet.
Impact: Increased confidence in your ability to understand, forecast and respond to geoeconomic changes in the world.
Beyond emerging markets: Why we need a more sophisticated approach to understanding developing economies
The conventional frameworks used by investors, corporates, and policymakers to assess developing economies rely on income thresholds and credit ratings that obscure more than they reveal. Using the Global Power Index, Murati dismantles the emerging markets category and replaces it with a data-driven map of which economies are genuinely accumulating capability and which are being dangerously misread.
Impact: A paradigm shift in your understanding of emerging markets and the metrics you should be using to understand the developments in these countries.
Vision and bricks: How to Build the Winning Nations of Tomorrow
National success is not random and it is not inevitable. It is engineered through specific combinations of institutional design, capital allocation, industrial strategy, and demographic management. Drawing on the Global Power Index and three decades of cross-country data, Murati identifies the structural patterns that separate nations on a genuine upward trajectory from those coasting on outdated narratives.
Impact: A competitive edge for leaders who need to move from reacting to global shifts to anticipating them, backed by the most comprehensive model of national development ever constructed.
The 2026 Power Map: Where Opportunity and Risk Are Really Moving
Conventional analysis follows the loudest signals and treats them as the story. They are not. They are symptoms of deeper structural shifts that most frameworks fail to measure. Using live GPI data, Murati maps these shifts across 194 countries and overlays them onto the audience's specific region, sector, or strategic priorities.
Impact: A bespoke strategic briefing that gives audiences a data-driven view of where power is actually moving.
