A highly regarded global thinker, Nader Mousavizadeh advises some of the world’s leading corporations, investors, and decision-makers, delivering actionable macro strategies and solutions. He is Founding Partner and CEO of Macro Advisory Partners. With a unique mix of leadership positions in diplomacy, investment banking, and advisory over the past 20 years, Nader combines rich personal anecdotes with deep analytical judgments about how organizations can navigate the risks and opportunities at the intersection of markets, politics, and policy in the global economy.

Nader offers sage insights on topics ranging from geopolitics, U.S.-China relations, and the forces that will move global markets to leadership and strategy, globalization 3.0, and what the future of technology means for companies and investors. Often ahead of the curve in spotting trends, Nader has been prescient with his framework of an “archipelago world.” As he explained in a Reuters column, “A deeper – and more radical – shift is at work in the politics of the global economy. A fragmentation of power, capital and ideas is creating a new map of the world with lasting implications for investors and policymakers alike.”

Nader was CEO of Oxford Analytica, a leading global analysis and advisory firm. Previously, he was the Founder and Managing Director of Archipelago Partners, advising corporations and governments in emerging markets. As an investment banker at Goldman Sachs, he worked in the Financial Industries M&A group in New York and in the Executive Office in London. 

Before entering the private sector, Nader served at the United Nations, first as a political officer in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and subsequently in the Executive Office of UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan from 1997-2003. He co-wrote Annan's memoir, Interventions: A Life in War and Peace, a Washington Post Notable Work of Nonfiction. A former associate editor for The New Republic, he edited the magazine's coverage of the war in the former Yugoslavia into The Black Book of Bosnia. 

Elected a "Global Leader for Tomorrow" by the World Economic Forum, Nader is a member of the Forum’s Global Future Council on Geopolitics. He also is a member of the Global Board of Directors for the World Resources Institute. His commentaries have been published in The Financial Times, The New York Times, Reuters, and Foreign Policy. Barron's featured him in a wide-ranging interview about global risks.  

A magna cum laude graduate of Harvard College and a Rhodes Scholar at the University of Oxford, where he received his M.Phil. in international relations, Nader received his MBA as a Sloan Fellow at MIT.
