Defence & Geostrategy

Strategic Advisory for a New Security Reality.

We are operating in a new era of sustained geopolitical volatility that demands strategic foresight, clear-headed leadership, and decisive action. At Christ & Company, we see security and defence as shared societal responsibilities. We build bridges between politics, industry, and society.

We support our clients in navigating complexity, managing risk, and transforming geopolitical disruption into strategic opportunity—through foresight, deep experience, and a trusted network spanning sectors and institutions.

Our clients include dual-use and DefenceTech start-ups, industrial SMEs and hidden champions, established defence firms, and multinational corporations.
