What CONSILIUM STRATEGIES Inc. does

Consilium Strategies Ltd is a UK-based boutique risk advisory firm founded in 2011 that provides full-spectrum risk management, intelligence, investigation, and stakeholder engagement services. The firm operates across frontier markets in Africa and Asia, with a claimed operational footprint spanning 38 countries and the ability to deploy vetted specialists within 48 hours. Its service portfolio comprises eight integrated lines: Research, Insights & Analysis; Risk Management; Stakeholder Engagement & Influence Campaigns; Special Projects; Intelligence; Investigations; Medical Support; and Expeditionary Logistics.

The firm employs 11-50 staff and is led by founder Edoardo Giglio (former New Scotland Yard special operations officer with 19 years of strategy risk advisory experience) and co-founder Douglas McGibbon (former British South Africa Police, South Africa Police Service, and British Army with four decades in corporate investigations). The advisory bench includes Jens Madsen, former Director General of the Danish Intelligence & Security Service. The firm's core technology is its proprietary 'triangulation' methodology combining quantitative research, behavioural insights, and empirical analysis to produce 'ground-truth' field intelligence rather than third-party data; there is no software platform, app, or AI/ML system disclosed.

Consilium generates revenue exclusively through bespoke, quote-based professional services engagements on multi-year contracts with high net worth individuals and family offices, Fortune500/FTSE100/Forbes20 corporates, Big 4 advisory firms, governments and intergovernmental organisations, NGOs, and international law firms. The go-to-market model is direct senior management engagement with 24/7 client access and in-person consultations at client-preferred locations; the firm has no disclosed marketing channels beyond its website and referral network. The company is privately held, founder-owned, and based at Kemp House, 160 City Road, London EC1V 2NX.

Core offering

Consilium Strategies provides bespoke risk management, intelligence, investigation, and stakeholder engagement services to corporations, governments, NGOs, and high net worth individuals operating primarily in frontier markets across Africa and Asia. The firm delivers full-spectrum advisory and operational support including due diligence, geopolitical and cyber intelligence, executive protection, influence campaigns, special projects in hostile environments, medical support, and expeditionary logistics.

Product overview

Consilium Strategies offers a unified portfolio of full-spectrum risk management, intelligence, and investigation services. The core offering comprises six integrated service lines: Research, Insights & Analysis (quantitative and behavioral research); Risk Management (enterprise and personal risk assessments); Stakeholder Engagement & Influence Campaigns (targeted influence operations); Special Projects (bespoke solutions for unconventional challenges); Intelligence (geopolitical, business, cyber, and field intelligence); and Investigations (background checks, due diligence, asset tracing, fraud/corruption investigations). Supporting these are Medical Support and Expeditionary Logistics services. The company operates as a professional services firm rather than a software platform, delivering bespoke advisory and operational support to high net worth individuals, executives, NGOs, and multinational corporations in Africa and Asia.

Direct peers

• Kroll: Global investigations, risk consulting, and financial-advisory firm. Direct overlap in investigations, due diligence, and security advisory for large enterprises and law firms.
• Control Risks: London-headquartered global risk consultancy delivering political, security, integrity, and investigative services to multinationals. Most direct comparable given overlapping client base (FTSE100, Fortune 500) and Africa/Asia frontier-market focus.
• S-RM: UK-based intelligence and cyber consultancy serving corporate and HNW clients with political risk, integrity due diligence, and cyber response. Comparable boutique intelligence profile and customer segments.
• Geopolitical Intelligence Service (GIS): Subscription-based geopolitical intelligence and advisory firm serving corporates and investors. Comparable in geopolitical intelligence offerings with a different delivery model (subscription vs bespoke).
• Hakluyt & Company: London-based strategic intelligence firm advising multinationals on geopolitical, competitive, and stakeholder intelligence. Closely comparable on influence-campaign and bespoke intelligence offerings.
• International SOS: Global medical and security services firm specializing in remote-environment health, evacuation, and travel-risk support. Directly comparable to Consilium's Medical Support and Expeditionary Logistics services.
• GPW Group: London-based due diligence, intelligence, and investigations firm serving corporates, investors, and law firms. Comparable boutique profile and focus on cross-border M&A and integrity due diligence.

Broad incumbents

• FTI Consulting: Large global advisory firm with a dedicated Strategic Communications and Risk & Investigations practice. Competes for the same Fortune500 due-diligence and investigations work but as part of a much broader portfolio.
• Pinkerton: Established global corporate security, investigations, and intelligence provider. Comparable in investigations and executive protection services, serving multinationals with a broader operational footprint.
• STRATFOR: Geopolitical intelligence and forecasting firm, now part of RANE. Comparable in geopolitical and business intelligence, scaled via subscription rather than bespoke engagements.
