Peter Zeihan

Globally Recognized Leader in Geopolitical Strategy

Peter Zeihan is a globally recognized leader in geopolitical strategy, or helping people understand how the world works. Peter combines an expert understanding of demography, economics, energy, politics, technology, and security to help clients best prepare for an uncertain future.

With clients spanning from Iowa to DC, and from Calgary to Seoul, Peter utilizes his unique worldview to help clients build more resilient operations, supply chains and business practices in our increasingly complex global environment.

Peter is a New York Times-bestselling author, whose books have been recommended by Mitt Romney, Fareed Zakaria and Ian Bremmer. His best-selling fourth title, The End of the World is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization, became available in June 2022. His first book, The Accidental Superpower was re-released in an updated 10th anniversary edition in 2024.

With a keen eye toward what will drive tomorrow’s headlines, his irreverent approach transforms topics that are normally dense and heavy into accessible, relevant takeaways for audiences of all types.

Over the course of his career, Peter has worked for the US State Department in Australia, the DC think tank community, and helped develop the analytical models for Stratfor, one of the world’s premier private intelligence companies. Peter founded his own firm — Zeihan on Geopolitics — in 2012 to provide a select group of clients with direct, independent analytical products. Today those clients represent a vast array of sectors including energy majors, financial institutions, business associations, agricultural interests, universities and the U.S. military.
