Dr Aaron Edwards, Senior Consultant

As a strategic advisor, consultant and academic with 25 years of experience, I help clients navigate complex security challenges through leadership development, evidence-based insight and tailored training.

I have advised government departments, defence and intelligence agencies, and NGOs on geopolitical risk, terrorism, insurgency, and other forms of asymmetric warfare across more than 30 countries.

I’m also an experienced public speaker, published author, and Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and UK Higher Education Academy.

Through my advisory and consultancy work, I offer:

• Geopolitical risk analysis;
• Leadership development;
• Training design and delivery.

As a member of the Security Institute (MSyI), Institute of Strategic Risk Management (M.ISRM), and IAFIE, I combine academic depth with field-tested adaptability – empowering clients to think critically, act decisively, and operate ethically in complex environments.
