The Sanctions Age
Episode 7: Henry Smith
Henry Smith on how global CEOs are navigating the sanctions landscape.
In recent decades, multinational companies have pursued market opportunities around the world, creating complex supply chains and financial structures in the process. But what was once a world of expanding opportunity is increasingly a world of encroaching risks. With sanctions and export controls imposed on a growing list of countries, including major economies like Iran and Russia, multinational companies have had to scale back or even exit markets. Now, CEOs are wondering where sanctions might hit next and how they can shield their businesses from emerging risks.
Henry is a partner at Control Risks, where he leads the company’s business intelligence and due diligence practice in EMEA. Henry advises global companies on how to adjust acquisition and growth strategies in the face of a changing sanctions landscape.
The Sanctions Age is hosted by Esfandyar Batmanghelidj. The show is produced by Spiritland Productions and is supported by a grant from the Hollings Center for International Dialogue.
