Daleep Singh

Former U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor for International Economics

Daleep Singh keynote speaker headshot on geopolitics, global economics and national security

Daleep Singh works where economic statecraft, geopolitics and global strategy meet real-world decision-making. As one of the key architects behind U.S. sanctions and financial strategy, he has operated at the centre of decisions carrying immediate global impact.

His perspective is not analytical in the traditional sense. It is operational. He understands how economic tools are actually used, how pressure is applied, where leverage sits and how governments respond when options narrow.

Direct, unsentimental and grounded in experience, he brings clarity to how power is exercised through markets, policy and capital flows.

Signature Keynotes

  • Where geopolitical risk actually sits in your organisation, and how to see it before it moves

  • What leaders need to understand when politics starts to shape markets and operations

  • How global economic decisions translate into real pressure on companies, capital and strategy

  • How senior leaders make decisions when signals are incomplete and timing matters

  • What has changed in how markets, governments and power interact, and what it means for growth

The Singh Effect

When Daleep speaks, economics becomes a mechanism of control.

Audiences leave ready to:

  • See how financial systems are used to exert influence

  • Understand where real leverage sits in global markets

  • Think more precisely about exposure and risk

  • Connect geopolitical shifts to immediate business impact

Why Book Daleep

Daleep Singh brings insight from inside the system, not outside it. He helps organisations understand how economic power is actually deployed and what that means when decisions need to be made quickly, with incomplete information and real consequences.
