What Strategia Worldwide does

Strategia Worldwide Limited is a UK-registered geopolitical and business risk consultancy, founded in 2016 in Salisbury by Sir Richard Shirreff (former NATO Deputy Supreme Commander Europe) and Iain Pickard (former COO at Marsh UK), with Sej Bhabra subsequently joining as Managing Partner – Head of Client Engagement. The firm helps senior executives identify external risks facing their business and understand how those risks are interrelated, explicitly linking risk to strategy rather than treating risks in silos, as is common in audit-led incumbents.

The company delivers four core professional services — Risk Assessment, Strategy Execution, War Gaming (a tailored 'safe-to-fail' stress-testing methodology), and Crisis Management — alongside a digital self-assessment tool called Crisis Management Radar, developed in collaboration with Spire and described as being underpinned by advanced analytics and adaptive learning software. Service delivery draws on a global network of over 100 partners and associates, including former military commanders, diplomats, ministers, ambassadors, and senior industry professionals, deployed in bespoke teams per engagement. Strategia serves enterprise clients across mining, energy, financial services, infrastructure, pharmaceutical, sustainability, Ukraine recovery, and regional specialisations, with named engagements involving Barrick Gold, Vedanta, Premier Oil, Howard de Walden Estate, Sunset & Vine, and Africa Wildlife Foundation across operations in 25+ countries.

Revenue is generated through bespoke, project-based professional services engagements at undisclosed, quote-driven pricing; the company is privately held with no external funding rounds disclosed and operates through direct consulting engagements supported by a network of strategic partnerships (including The Montt Group, Avida International, Above Ground Risk Solutions, Africa Matters Limited, Proudfoot, Arcanum, Ciera Group, and Spire) that extend its geographic and functional reach.
