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
To build a new culture of international collaboration — grounded in rationality, shared interests and measurable societal benefit.
Traditional diplomacy reacts to crises; 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
