Global operations create strategic exposure that extends far beyond traditional business risks. Sentinel Strategies helps organizations identify, assess, and navigate geopolitical threats before they disrupt operations, compromise critical assets, or create unexpected liabilities. Companies and nonprofits operate internationally, whether by design or necessity, and that global footprint can make them targets of state and non-state actors in ways many organizations have never had to anticipate. A U.S. or allied-nation organization operating in a country with adversarial views toward the United States and its partners is not insulated simply because its business is commercial.

Organizations with sensitive technology, valuable intellectual property, or connections to U.S. and allied-nation critical infrastructure face a growing challenge: identifying emerging threats before they become operational or security crises. Sentinel Strategies applies an analytics-driven approach to risk identification, helping leadership teams understand where state and non-state actors have the intent and capability to create exposure.

Drawing on an expertise in open source intelligence and the development of a first of its kind CIA enterprise risk identification and data science program, this approach combines structured risk analysis, data-driven assessment, and continuous monitoring to quantify vulnerabilities and provide leadership with a dynamic view of evolving threats rather than relying on static, point-in-time assessments.

Drawing on decades of experience leading operational risk response during active crises and briefing White House executives, National Security Council staff, Members of Congress, and media leadership, Sentinel Strategies helps organizations strengthen their ability to lead when the stakes are highest. Engagements include business continuity strategy for active threat scenarios, crisis response planning, executive decision support, and escalation and communications frameworks that enable leadership to stay ahead of a crisis rather than react to one.

Sentinel Strategies can produce hands-on training programs that bring intelligence tradecraft to your team, from threat identification and risk assessment to crisis response and decision-making under pressure. Each program is tailored to the organization's specific exposure, industry, and operational environment, moving beyond generic frameworks to build capabilities that hold up in real-world conditions.

Sentinel Strategies founder, Jennifer Crook, is available for keynotes and briefings for boards, executive teams, and conferences on geopolitical risk, technology threats, and the evolving national security landscape. Drawing on direct experience briefing senior decision-makers, including White House, NSC, and congressional leadership, these engagements translate complex threat environments into clear, actionable insight for leaders who need to act on it.
