That difference is now a CEO matter because geoeconomic shocks no longer arrive one at a time. If the answer is no, geoeconomic resilience at your company is a report, not a capability. CrowdStrike’s chief resilience officer reports directly to the CEO, and Allianz Commercial has placed risk and resilience at the board level. The pattern is consistent: The companies that fare best treat geoeconomic resilience as governance, not as a project. Ask for the date of the last geoeconomic stress test and the decision it pre-cleared.
