John Sitilides Biography
John Sitilides is Principal at Trilogy Advisors LLC in Washington, D.C., specializing in U.S. government relations, geopolitical risk, and international affairs, and is a National Security Senior Fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute.
He is a professional speaker at corporate, investor, and industry conferences, and before government, military and intelligence community audiences, on geopolitical risk management and the business impacts of international security policies. He explores the complex geopolitical and geo-economic decisions that impact markets in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and worldwide, helping corporate executives, investment managers and civic audiences better understand, anticipate, and mitigate risk.
Under a U.S. government contract under Presidents Biden, Trump, Obama, and Bush, Sitilides was Southern Europe Regional Coordinator at the Foreign Service Institute, the State Department's professional development and diplomacy academy for American foreign policy professionals. He was Board Chairman of the Woodrow Wilson Center Southeast Europe Project (2005-2011), following seven years as Executive Director of the Western Policy Center, an international relations institute specializing in U.S., NATO & EU interests in Europe and the Middle East until he negotiated its 2004 merger with the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.
He has testified before Congress and is a frequent national security commentator on U.S. and international media such as Bloomberg News, CNN, FOX News, CNN International, and NewsNation, and has been interviewed or cited in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, Washington Times, The National Interest, Politico, National Public Radio, Asia Times, Institutional Investor, Tagesspiegel, South China Morning Post, and other leading print and digital media.
His domestic client portfolio includes industry leaders in real estate development, home construction and agribusiness, along with aviation and emerging technology companies, with a specialization in environmental regulatory reform and private property rights protection. He launched his career in the U.S. Senate and on a series of successful political campaigns.
Sitilides serves on the Executive Committee and Board of Trustees of Leadership 100, a national Orthodox Christian foundation. He served on the Board of Directors of 3doo, Inc., a VR/AR media technology company, and of Biovest International, developing personalized cancer immunotherapies; the Board of Directors of International Orthodox Christian Charities, a global humanitarian organization; and the Board of Governors of the Advanced Imaging Society, promoting the global motion picture industry’s arts and technologies.
He is a member of the Association of International Risk Intelligence Professionals, the Intelligence and National Security Alliance, the Columbia University Club of Washington, D.C., the Empire State Forum, and the Association of Former Senate Aides.

John Sitilides Speaking Topics
Geopolitical strategist John Sitilides, who is Senior Fellow for National Security at the Foreign Policy Research Institute and was a State Department Diplomacy Consultant under four U.S. Presidents, including Donald Trump’s first term (2017-2021), is a professional speaker at leading corporate, investor, and industry conferences, and before government, military, and intelligence community audiences, on geopolitical risk management and the business impacts of international security policies.
Sitilides probes the incoming Trump Administration’s foreign policy, national security, international trade, and global affairs priorities and strategies for the next four years, concentrating on the expected shifts in U.S. tariffs policy, trade negotiations, increased oil & gas production and export, reduced renewable subsidies, active diplomacy to end hot wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, and the convergence of renewed military deterrence and strategic commercial and technological competition to thwart China’s belligerent disruption of international trade and financial systems.
Sitilides’ dispassionate and non-partisan assessment of the multi-faceted geopolitical and geo-economic decisions that impact markets in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and worldwide, using only open-source intelligence, helps corporate executives, investment managers and civic audiences better understand, anticipate, and mitigate risk, and delivers high-value personal enrichment on the complex issues that will dominate the global landscape for years to come.
The global economy, long based upon a rules-based trade system, is undergoing profound and fundamentally transformative shifts. Russia’s war against Ukraine is upending Europe’s security architecture, as the EU scrambles to escape its hydrocarbon dependence on Moscow, NATO seeks to prevent alliance fracturing, and Germany and the United Kingdom plan for energy rationing and possible recession. U.S.-China relations are more tense than ever over Taiwan, trade, technology, and human rights, as China seeks to dominate Asia, manage its commercial relations, and challenge U.S. global leadership, while Washington seeks closer ties with India, Japan, and Indo-Pacific powers for regional counterbalance. Beijing is emerging from a zero-COVID policy that unsettled global supply chains and thwarted economic growth. Iran’s potential nuclear weapons breakout is destabilizing the Middle East and its global oil and gas supply network. The global impact of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan is re-shaping counter-terrorism operations and may modify rare earths processing for renewable energy and other advanced technology sectors. Food shortages, energy scarcity, cybersecurity, and climate policy are increasingly shaping international decision-making.

Washington Times: "Vortex of Turmoil, Vacuum of Power"
At the core of NATO’s southeastern flank and the nexus of the Middle East, North Africa and Southern Europe, the eastern Mediterranean region a half decade ago was relatively serene. Today, the transformation of the complex political and geostrategic environment of the broader Mediterranean region, whose regular problems were generally manageable, has been stunning.

The Guardian: "Refugee bottleneck in Greece leads to warning of humanitarian crisis"
“In this time of compounded humanitarian and security crises, Greece is being pummelled by its geography,” said John Sitilides, a geopolitical strategist in Washington DC. Trapped in a geopolitical vice and with the country reeling from its longest recession in post-war history, Greece’s social fabric could easily be torn apart. “The opportunity for nativists such as Golden Dawn to further exacerbate social and economic tensions for political gain is alarmingly significant,” Sitilides said, referring to the neo-fascist party that is Greece’s third biggest political force.
