About The Event
Admiral James Stavridis discussed key geopolitical and international security issues, including the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, as well as U.S.–China relations. He examined the intersection of geopolitics and the global economy, the effectiveness of sanctions, and the role of “smart power” — the balance of hard and soft power — in resolving conflicts. He also explored U.S. relations in Latin America and the Caribbean, with particular attention to Venezuela. Throughout the discussion, themes of leadership, character, and risk emerged, along with areas that offered hope amid global challenges. Admiral Stavridis drew on his experiences as a naval officer, board director, and private equity leader to share practical lessons and insights.
This event was held virtually on Feb. 4, 2026.
