S4GEO Expands Advisory Board with Intelligence Veterans

Rodger Baker, chairman of S4GEO, emphasized that the appointment of these two experts is aimed at helping organizations move beyond reactive, headline-driven analysis. The move comes as the Society pushes to formalize the discipline of applied geopolitics, providing a rigorous framework for businesses struggling to navigate an increasingly volatile global landscape.

Dr. Angela Lewis brings two decades of experience to the role, including a tenure as a Senior Targeting Officer at the CIA and leadership positions at major corporations like Salesforce and The Walt Disney Company. Currently a Senior Advisor at Sibylline, she focuses on refining analytic tradecraft and institutional decision-making. Kieran O’Leary, who leads intelligence and analysis at Emergent Risk International, contributes extensive expertise in Indo-Pacific security. His background includes a distinguished career in the Australian government, where he served in diplomatic and defense roles across Jakarta and US Pacific Command Headquarters in Hawaii. By integrating these practitioners, the Society intends to sharpen the analytical standards used by both policymakers and private sector leaders.
