Isaac Stone Fish, founder of Strategy Risks, spoke as part of the Executive Insight Series hosted by the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce in New York and the Karl-Adam Bonnier Foundation. The event examined how the global business environment is shifting from free markets toward strategic markets increasingly shaped by government power, regulation, and geopolitical competition.

The discussion featured Daniella Ballou-Aares, CEO and Co-founder of the Leadership Now Project, alongside Stone Fish. Together, they explored how political risk, state intervention, and national security concerns are reshaping the operating environment for international companies, and what these changes mean for business leaders navigating investment, governance, and long-term strategy in an era of heightened government influence.
