Marco Vicenzino: Politics Above Profits - The New Global Disorder | EDGE 2026
Shifting Geopolitical Centers of Gravity
•
14-Apr-2026
In this EDGE - Beyond The Stage 1:1, Marco Vicenzino explains why leaders are moving from a “profits above politics” world to a “politics above profits” era - and what that means for supply chains, risk, and decision-making. He argues geopolitical risk must be a core part of every leader’s toolkit, highlights Europe’s structural challenges in a fast-changing world, and outlines why democracy is being tested by technology and short-term political incentives.
Takeaways:
• Supply chains are being reconfigured “according to geopolitical alignment” - leaders must factor geopolitics into business decisions.
• Geopolitical risk and understanding should be “in your top five” decision inputs, alongside legal and operational considerations.
• Democracy is being challenged by fast-moving technology and a growing disconnect between leadership and the public.
