Roger Boyes is a global affairs expert whose influential weekly column for The Times provides decision-makers with clear, precise analysis of geopolitical risks and emerging crises shaping our world.
As Chief Foreign Affairs Columnist and Diplomatic Editor, Roger has advised three foreign secretaries and Number 10. His extensive interview portfolio includes established leaders like Angela Merkel and Mike Pompeo, alongside revolutionaries-turned-statesmen such as Nobel Peace Prize winner Lech Walesa, about whom he has written a biography.
Roger brings unparalleled insight to organisations navigating today's complex geopolitical landscape. His firsthand experience covering pivotal historical moments, from the 1989 revolutions and collapse of communism to the Balkan wars, enables him to identify patterns and anticipate global shifts that impact business strategy, investment decisions, and risk management frameworks.
Roger's broad reporting over the years, including hunting Nazi war criminals in the Baltics, long lunches with Bill Gates and Sir John Sawers, and a week spent in Europe’s last leper colony, further make for colourful and thought-provoking anecdotes.
Audiences gain practical understanding of how international relations directly affect business environments, concrete frameworks for assessing geopolitical risk in strategic planning, and actionable intelligence on emerging global trends before they become mainstream news.
Book Roger for a thought-provoking analysis that transforms abstract global challenges into clear strategic opportunities for your organisation.
