      Geopolitical Strategist, Global Macro-Advisor & Founder of NRCI

      Core Intelligence Domain: Geopolitics & Global Macro Trends
      Location: Oslo, Norway | Languages: English, Norwegian
      Representation: Represented globally by PSpeakers Global Intelligence

      Arne Elias Corneliussen is a highly distinguished geopolitical advisor, macro-strategist, and the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Norwegian Risk Consulting International (NRCI). Renowned for his extraordinary on-the-ground intelligence gathering and unparalleled strategic foresight, he provides C-suite executives, boards of directors, and institutional investors with proprietary insights into the complex intersections of global politics, economics, and international security. By mapping geopolitical risk against macroeconomic shifts, he equips global leaders with the strategic frameworks required to navigate an increasingly volatile, multipolar world.

      What distinctly sets Arne Elias Corneliussen apart in the realm of global intelligence is his rigorous, empirical methodology. Rather than relying solely on secondary data, he conducts extensive, overland fact-finding expeditions to the world’s most critical geopolitical fault lines. He has travelled across more than 120 countries, including an extraordinary overland journey through 42 countries in Africa using local public transport to map out infrastructure, logistics, and political dynamics. He has extensively tracked the New Silk Road by crossing Asia from Shanghai to Istanbul, and has conducted deep-dive geopolitical risk assessments across the Middle East and Latin America. This ground-truth intelligence provides him with an unmatched, granular understanding of regional dynamics, emerging market potential, and supply chain vulnerabilities.

      As the driving force behind NRCI, a leading geopolitical risk consultancy established in 2010, Corneliussen has developed proprietary strategic foresight models that help multinational corporations anticipate systemic shocks. His advisory work spans across critical sectors, including energy, maritime logistics, finance, and defence. He continuously analyses the evolving global security architecture, with a particular focus on US-China strategic competition, global technological decoupling, European energy security, and the rising influence of the Global South and BRICS+ nations into 2026 and beyond.

      Educated in Political Science, International Relations, and History, Corneliussen is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society in London. He is highly sought-after by corporate boards, industry associations, and global economic summits for his ability to translate complex geopolitical and macroeconomic developments into actionable, commercially relevant strategies.
