2026 Financial Risk Symposium Keynote: Edward Fishman on Economic Chokepoints

2026 Financial Risk Symposium Keynote: Edward Fishman on Economic Chokepoints, Sanctions, and the State of Geopolitical Risk

Managing the impact of geopolitical volatility on corporate profit margins is an increasingly critical priority for senior management and risk leaders globally.  

The weaponization of global finance and technology has widened the range and scope of financial and non-financial threats potentially impacting organizations globally. How should corporate risk leaders respond, particularly in today’s heightened geopolitical risk environment? 

Watch Edward Fishman, author of The New York Times bestselling book "Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare", deliver a keynote at the GARP 2026 Financial Risk Symposium examining how the convergence of economic warfare and global financial markets is reshaping the strategic management of risk.

In conversation with GARP Managing Director Christopher Donohue, Fishman discusses how shifting geopolitics and current global events should inform financial risk strategies, drawing on insights from his acclaimed book, his leadership on Russia and Iran sanctions, and his experience spanning the Council of Foreign Relations, other prominent public sector roles, and the private sector.
