Who we are

Founded in 2024

IMN.Expert is an international strategic consultancy and expert network helping governments, corporations and expert communities design cross-border cooperation in an era of geopolitical fragmentation.

We work where politics, perception and complexity intersect — transforming fragmented interests into structured, long-term cooperation.

Our Purpose

Our Purpose

To build a new culture of international collaboration — grounded in rationality, shared interests and measurable societal benefit.


IMN.Expert engineers cooperation before crises escalate.

Our Theory

Strategic Pragmatism
Shared interests create stronger agreements than ideology.

Behavioral Geopolitics
Leaders systematically misjudge risk — overestimating unlikely threats and underestimating structural dangers.

Systems Thinking
Energy, security, climate and mobility are interconnected. Durable solutions require coherent design.

Our Team & Leadership

A distributed global team of analysts, strategists, researchers and advisors across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, the Caucasus and the Global South.

We do not rely on a single headquarters.
We operate as a global intelligence ecosystem.

Senior Fellows — former policymakers, economists, strategists

Regional Advisors — US, Europe, MENA, Central Asia, Caucasus, Global South

Behavioral Dynamics Specialists — decision psychology, perception, cognitive risk

Sector Analysts — energy, geoeconomics, climate, digital governance, sanctions

Project Architects — cooperation frameworks, coalitions, roadmaps

Research Associates — scenario modeling, intelligence briefs, monitoring
