Driving sustainable investment in African Mining

Claude de Baissac

CEO Eunomix

Claude bridges the fast-rising and destabilising gap between business, geopolitical & country risk, and durable development. Founder and CEO of advisory firm Eunomix, he intervenes in complex situations to reduce risk, unlock opportunity, and turn external risk management into source of competitive advantage. Anticipating the return of geopolitics in the 2000s, he has honed unique approaches to measuring and improving business and national resilience to security, politics, economy, societal and ecosystem risk. 
His offering is the product of a career purposefully blending economic and policy work, risk analysis, strategy and management science. He has accumulated vast experience in states affected by fragility and failure, through hundreds of projects for blue-chip clients and international donors. 

Claude has been called an “action intellectual”, comfortable conducting in-depth research, advising governments on growth, solving a client’s crisis, guiding excos and boards on long-term strategic risk, or engaging in public debates on socioeconomic and sociopolitical matters. 

Born in Africa, raised in the Indian Ocean, he has mainly lived in the Global South, gaining expertise in the trenches and empathetic knowledge through the lived practice of his work. He is driven by the equality of all, the need for global balance and sustainability, and of good governance.
