Larisa B. Miller Keynote Speaker

• Pillar 1 — Global Business & Soft Diplomacy

The Business of Instability: What the Gulf Crisis Means for Global Capital, Infrastructure, and Investment

The conflict reshaping the United Arab Emirates and the broader Gulf is not a regional story. It is a stress test for every company with capital deployed, supply chains routed, or infrastructure contracts negotiated in the region. Most speakers explain the geopolitics from the outside. Larisa Miller spent more than a decade based in Abu Dhabi, operating inside the UAE, building at the intersection of government, sovereign capital, and global infrastructure, working with royal family offices and cabinet-level relationships, and running development projects across the Emirates and into Africa. In this keynote, she translates what is happening now into direct strategic implications for global investment portfolios, infrastructure timelines, and cross-border business decisions. Audiences leave with a framework for navigating uncertainty in the world’s most consequential emerging market corridor, not from a policy briefing, but from someone who has been in the rooms.

Best for: corporate boards, C-suite leadership, family offices, institutional investors, infrastructure decision-makers, and senior strategy teams.

The Strategic Read: How Gulf Leadership Is Positioning Through the Iran Conflict

The active conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran is being read by Gulf leadership very differently than by Washington, Brussels, or the financial press. Gulf sovereign capital is not waiting for stability before deploying. It is positioning for the longer horizon, accelerating regional realignment, and treating the conflict as part of a transition rather than a pause in it. This keynote is for corporate audiences whose strategic positioning depends on understanding what the Gulf is actually doing under crisis conditions, not what observers outside the region are predicting. Delivered with the access of someone who operates daily inside the region, and the discipline of someone who knows where the line of public commentary sits. For corporate boards, family office advisors, and institutional investors who need a substantive read rather than a headline.

Global Business in a Fragmented World: Operating Across Borders When the Rules Are Rewritten

The era of predictable globalization is over. What replaces it is not isolation. It is a more complex, more demanding form of global engagement that rewards operators with genuine cross-border fluency and punishes those working from assumptions that no longer hold. With two decades of active operations across the United States, the United Arab Emirates and the Gulf, Africa, Europe, and Latin America, Larisa Miller delivers a ground-level strategic briefing on what global business actually looks like today: the capital flows, the regulatory pivots, the cultural intelligence required, and the frameworks that separate organizations that scale across borders from those that struggle. This is not a policy overview. It is an operator’s guide.

Best for: corporate strategy teams, C-suite leadership, board strategy retreats, and senior leadership cohorts navigating cross-border operations.

The Soft Diplomacy of Commerce: How Cross-Border Trust Actually Gets Deals Done

Behind every successful international venture is a relationship economy that almost no business school teaches. The formal structures — contracts, term sheets, regulatory approvals — are the visible layer. Underneath is the longer, slower work of earning trust across cultures, reading rooms that operate by different rules, and understanding that in most of the world, commerce and diplomacy are not separate disciplines. Drawing from two decades of work across the Gulf, Africa, Europe, and the Americas, and years of operating inside royal family offices and cabinet-level relationships, Larisa Miller delivers a working guide to the soft diplomacy of commerce: how relationships actually get built at the level where real deals happen, how cultural intelligence translates into commercial outcomes, and why the organizations that master this layer consistently outperform those relying on transactions alone.

Best for: senior commercial leadership, business development teams operating cross-border, family enterprise principals, and cohorts moving into emerging markets.

Unexpected Collaboration: Cross-Sector and Cross-Ministerial Strategies for Unlocking Value

The most consequential value creation of the next decade will not come from organizations operating inside their traditional lanes. It will come from those willing to connect dots that were not supposed to connect. In the public sector, this means cross-ministerial collaboration — the transportation ministry generating revenue off an agriculture project, the digital services agency unlocking value from an infrastructure program, the health ministry building capability through an education initiative. In the private sector, it means finding commercial opportunity in industries and partnerships most CEOs would dismiss as irrelevant to their business model. Drawing from active work with governments across the United States, Europe, the Gulf, and Africa, and from Phoenix Global’s practice of building ventures at the seams between industries, Larisa Miller delivers a working framework for what she calls the architecture of unexpected collaboration: how to identify the cross-sector partnerships that create durable value, how to structure them so every participant benefits, and why the organizations and ministries that master this practice consistently outperform those that stay in their lanes.

Best for: corporate strategy teams, public-sector leadership, ministerial cohorts, and senior executives evaluating cross-sector partnerships.

Uncommon Ground: Building Across Cultural and Generational Difference

The strongest partnerships of the next decade will be the ones built across difference — cultural, generational, structural — rather than the ones built among people who already think alike. Co-developed with His Excellency Mohammed Hamad bin Fahad Al Muhairi, Chairman of Phoenix Global, this keynote draws from a decade of building a global business between an Emirati national and an American woman in a region that systematically discourages this kind of partnership. The argument goes well beyond diversity-of-thought slogans into the substantive practice of cross-cultural leadership: how partnerships across genuine difference actually produce strategic outcomes that homogeneous teams cannot reach, how to build the trust and operational architecture that makes it work, and why companies still building leadership pipelines from within familiar networks are leaving competitive value on the table. For corporate audiences, family enterprise leadership, and senior teams designing the next generation of cross-border partnerships.

Best for: corporate audiences, family enterprise leadership, senior teams designing cross-cultural partnerships, and women's leadership cohorts.

• Pillar 2 — Africa, Emerging Markets & Sustainable Development

Africa Is the Answer: Food Security, Infrastructure, and the Investment Case for the World’s Next Economy

The conventional framing of Africa as a development challenge is three decades out of date. The reality on the ground is a continent with the arable land, the workforce, and the market dynamics to become the food basket and innovation hub of the global economy, provided the right capital and infrastructure partnerships show up with the right framework. Larisa Miller has built actively across multiple African markets through Phoenix Global, working on agriculture and agritech, transportation and trade corridors, digital government, and sustainable investment. In this keynote, she cuts through the aid-era narrative and delivers a practitioner’s case for Africa as the most consequential growth market of the next two decades, and the specific frameworks that separate responsible, durable investment from the extractive patterns that have failed before.

Best for: corporate strategy teams, infrastructure investors, family offices, agricultural sector leadership, and development finance institutions.

The Gulf-Africa Axis: How Two Continents Became One Economic Story

The two regions most commentators treat as separate are increasingly a single connected economic story. Gulf sovereign capital has become the largest emerging force in African infrastructure and food security. African demographic and resource fundamentals are becoming the strategic complement that Gulf leadership is positioning around for the long horizon. Trade corridors, capital flows, political alignment, and partnership architectures are stitching the two regions together in ways that Western institutions are not yet pricing in. Drawing from active operational work in both regions, Larisa Miller delivers a strategic briefing on the Gulf-Africa axis: where the capital is moving, what the partnerships actually look like, and what corporate decision-makers and investors outside both regions need to understand about the most significant cross-regional shift of the decade. For corporate strategy teams, infrastructure investors, family offices, and sovereign capital advisors.

Best for: corporate strategy teams, infrastructure investors, sovereign capital advisors, family offices, and institutional investors positioning around emerging-market shifts.

Also suited for: Global Business & Soft Diplomacy (Pillar 1); Family Offices and Private Wealth (Pillar 4)

Responsible Acceleration: How Emerging Economies Can Leapfrog Without the Debt Trap

The path most emerging economies have been offered is a familiar trade: rapid development financed by debt terms that mortgage the next generation. There is another path, and the countries that have taken it — from the United Arab Emirates in its early decades to specific sectors in Southeast Asia and Latin America — have a pattern worth studying. Drawing from more than a decade operating inside the UAE’s transformation story, active work across African governments, and cross-border investment structuring, Larisa Miller delivers a strategic framework for what responsible acceleration actually looks like: sovereign governance that holds the line, diversified capital sources, strategic diversification away from single-commodity dependency, and the partnerships that build capacity rather than extract it. Audiences leave with a working model for development that generates durable growth, not just short-term GDP numbers.

Best for: emerging-market policymakers, sovereign capital advisors, development finance institutions, and corporate leadership operating across developing economies.

Food Security Is National Security: What the Supply Chain Collapse Taught Us, and What Comes Next

The 2020–2022 global supply chain failure exposed something that had been true for decades: food security is not an agricultural issue, it is a strategic infrastructure issue, and most nations had quietly outsourced theirs. Larisa Miller built Keystone Farm Future specifically to address that failure, creating the first vertically integrated beef supply program in the United States, partnering with nearly 20 family farms and establishing the first PA Preferred beef designation for a grocery chain. In this keynote, she draws from that operational experience and from parallel work in African food systems to deliver a strategic case for treating food security as national security: the supply chain architecture that actually holds under stress, the partnership models that protect both farmers and consumers, and the policy frameworks that separate nations that will eat from those that will not.

Best for: agricultural sector leadership, food security policymakers, sovereign food security advisors, supply chain executives, and institutional investors in the food and agriculture sector.

The Integrated Agricultural Economy: Vertical Models, One Health, and the Carbon Opportunity

Agriculture is being rebuilt globally as a strategic sector rather than a commodity sector. Vertical integration, precision agriculture, the One Health framework connecting animal-environmental-human health, carbon sequestration, and the sovereign-backed food security imperative are converging into a coherent new agricultural economy. Drawn from Larisa Miller’s operational work in agricultural ventures including Keystone Farm Future and parallel work in Gulf and African food systems, this keynote moves past the commodity frame and into the substance of what an integrated agricultural enterprise looks like in 2026 and beyond: the vertical stack from input through consumer brand, the One Health interconnection that turns operational design into commercial advantage, the precision technology that separates leaders from followers, and the carbon sequestration revenue that integrated operations capture while extractive ones cannot. For agricultural leadership, food security policymakers, and investors evaluating integrated agricultural ventures.

Best for: agricultural leadership, food security policymakers, vertically integrating agribusinesses, climate-finance investors, and family offices with agriculture exposure.

• Pillar 3 — Business Strategy & Disruption

Connecting the Dots: How Strategic Disruption Becomes Visible Across Regions, Not Inside Them

Most strategic disruption is invisible from inside any single region or industry. It becomes visible only at the intersections — between Gulf capital and African infrastructure, between Mediterranean geopolitics and American corporate retrenchment, between sovereign sustainability mandates and private wealth allocation. The leaders who consistently outperform are the ones who have trained themselves to see connections their usual sources cannot deliver, because their usual sources sit inside one silo at a time.

Drawing from two decades operating across the Gulf, Africa, Europe, and the Americas as a principal rather than a commentator, Larisa Miller delivers a strategic framework for reading patterns across regions, industries, and capital flows simultaneously. Built around live case studies of disruption visible only at the regional and industry crossroads, this keynote is for senior leadership teams whose competitive positioning depends on seeing what the rest of the market is missing.

Best for: senior leadership teams, corporate boards, family offices, and C-suite cohorts whose competitive positioning depends on cross-regional pattern recognition.

Also suited for: Global Business & Soft Diplomacy (Pillar 1); Family Offices and Private Wealth (Pillar 4)

Disruption Is a Discipline: How to Build Strategy When the Rules Keep Changing

Every organization claims to embrace disruption. Very few have built a systematic approach to it. Larisa Miller has operated across 20+ countries, in markets ranging from the United Arab Emirates and the broader Gulf to Sub-Saharan Africa to the American agricultural sector, and the pattern is consistent: the organizations that thrive through disruption treat it as a practiced discipline, not a reaction.

This keynote delivers a working framework for strategic disruption: how to read the signals before they become crises, how to build for the world that is coming rather than the one that was, and how to lead when the ground is shifting under your feet. It also directly addresses one of the hardest lessons of the 2020–2022 supply chain collapse: the organizations that recovered fastest were the ones willing to collaborate across competitive lines and expand their networks, recognizing that intelligent collaboration enhances intellectual property rather than threatens it. Grounded in two decades of operational reality across global markets.

Best for: C-suite leadership, board strategy retreats, senior commercial teams, and growth-stage company leadership.

Own the Landscape: How C-Suite Leaders Disrupt, Outmaneuver Competitors, and Redefine Their Markets

Most executives talk about disruption as something that happens to their industry. The leaders who consistently win treat it as something they engineer. This keynote is built for C-suite and senior executives who want to move beyond competitive response and into competitive control.

Larisa Miller draws from two decades of operating across global markets to deliver a framework for identifying where an industry is structurally vulnerable, how to exploit those vulnerabilities before a competitor does, and how to build market position so dominant that replication becomes prohibitively expensive. The goal is not to outrun competitors. It is to make the race irrelevant. Audiences leave with specific tools for auditing their competitive landscape, identifying the moves that consolidate market share, and executing the kind of strategic transformation that does not just respond to disruption but manufactures it.

Best for: C-suite and senior executive cohorts, board strategy retreats, and corporate leadership programmes focused on competitive transformation.

20-Year Strategy & Investment: How a Long Horizon Changes Every Decision You Make Today

Most business strategy is built on a 12-month horizon, occasionally stretching to three years. The companies and leaders that consistently outperform are operating on a fundamentally different time frame, and that shift in horizon changes not just strategy, but hiring, capital allocation, partnership selection, and how you read market signals.

Drawing from her work in family office governance, emerging market infrastructure, agricultural supply chains, and global consulting, Larisa Miller delivers a practical framework for extending your strategic lens, and the concrete decisions that look different once you do.

Best for: family office principals, board members, C-suite leadership, and senior advisors operating on long-horizon investment and strategic frames.

Also suited for: Family Offices, Private Wealth & Next-Generation Capital (Pillar 4)

• Pillar 4 — Family Offices, Private Wealth & Next-Generation Capital

Legacy Capital in New Markets: How the Next Generation Is Deploying Differently

The generational transfer of wealth now underway is the largest in recorded history, and the allocation decisions being made by the inheritors look almost nothing like those of the founders. Legacy capital is moving into emerging markets, impact-aligned infrastructure, agritech, and cross-border ventures that the previous generation of family office governance would not have touched.

Drawing from active work with family offices across the United States, the Gulf, and Europe, Larisa Miller delivers a strategic briefing on what this generational shift actually looks like inside the institutions managing it: the governance frameworks that enable it, the due diligence standards that differ from traditional private equity, and the cross-border partnership structures that are emerging as the vehicle of choice. For principals, next-gen leadership, and the advisors who serve them.

Best for: family office principals, next-generation leadership, family enterprise advisors, and senior corporates serving the family office sector.

Private Wealth Has Left Geneva: The New Geographic Centre of Family Office Capital

The private wealth conversation has moved permanently out of Geneva and London and into Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh, and Singapore. The principals making capital allocation decisions today are younger, more international, more technologically fluent, and significantly more interested in geopolitical risk and regional opportunity than the Anglo-American wealth generation that preceded them.

Drawing on direct daily experience operating in the Gulf family office landscape, Larisa Miller delivers a strategic briefing on what is actually being allocated, what the next-generation principals are buying that their parents would not have, and what private wealth advisors, asset managers, and corporate boards need to understand about a market that is reshaping itself faster than most institutional players are tracking. For private wealth leadership, family office principals, and the advisors and corporates serving them.

Best for: private wealth leadership, family office principals, asset managers, and corporate boards engaging with Gulf-based capital.

The Rising Role of Women in Family Offices and Family Businesses

Women have always shaped family enterprises. What is changing is the formalization of that influence into governance, operational leadership, and capital allocation authority. Larisa Miller contributed to the Emerald Publishing volume The Rising Role of Women in Family Offices and Family Businesses and has spent years working directly with family enterprises navigating the transition.

In this keynote, she moves past the surface conversation about representation and into the structural work: succession architecture, governance design, the integration of spousal and next-generation voices into decision-making, and the cultural shifts that separate family enterprises that sustain across generations from those that fracture. For family principals, next-generation leadership, and the professional advisors who guide them.

Best for: family principals, next-generation leadership, family enterprise advisors, and women's leadership cohorts within family enterprise structures.

Also suited for: Women in Leadership & Boardroom Influence (Pillar 5)

Family Office Wealth and Technology: What Comes After the Legacy Allocation Model

The traditional family office allocation model — public equities, fixed income, a private equity sleeve, some real estate, a minor alternatives position — was built for a financial environment that no longer exists. The family offices positioning for the next thirty years are making fundamentally different bets, particularly in technology, emerging market infrastructure, and direct venture allocation.

Drawing from her work at the intersection of family office governance and next-generation capital deployment, Larisa Miller delivers a working briefing on what the new model looks like, where the actual opportunities sit, and how family office governance adapts when the allocation playbook changes. For principals, CIOs, and senior advisors.

Best for: family office principals, CIOs, senior advisors, and next-generation leadership evaluating the future allocation model.

Sovereign Capital, Patient Money, and the Quiet Reshaping of the Global Investment Map

Sovereign wealth funds, family offices linked to Gulf royal capital, and Mediterranean institutional investors are deploying differently than the Western institutional money that defined the previous generation of cross-border investment. They are more patient, more strategically motivated, more comfortable with regional complexity, and increasingly willing to lead transactions that Western capital has either declined or could not access.

Drawing from direct experience across the Gulf sovereign capital landscape and African emerging-market deployment, Larisa Miller delivers a strategic briefing on where this capital is moving, what it is buying, and what the implications are for corporate strategy, infrastructure financing, and the geography of the next decade’s institutional investment. For corporate boards, institutional investors, and infrastructure professionals positioning around the new map.

Best for: corporate boards, institutional investors, infrastructure professionals, and family office advisors positioning around the new global investment map.

• Pillar 5 — Women in Leadership & Boardroom Influence

No Room at the Table? Build a Bigger Table: Women, Power, and the Business of Leading on a Global Stage

The conversation about women in business has too often been about access and not enough about architecture. Access gets you in the room. Architecture determines whether the room is built for you to succeed once you are there. Larisa Miller has spent two decades operating in some of the most male-dominated business environments on earth, from the corridors of Gulf government to the boardrooms of international development to the stages of global forums, and she has never once waited for the room to become more comfortable before doing the work.

This keynote is not about overcoming obstacles. It is about building the strategic, financial, and relational infrastructure that makes obstacles irrelevant. Drawing from her record across 20+ countries, 15 board and advisory positions, and a career built entirely on her own terms, Larisa delivers a frank, specific, and unsentimental guide to what it actually takes for women to lead at the highest levels of global business. Not inspiration. A blueprint.

Best for: senior women executive cohorts, women's leadership conferences, executive networks, and corporate board cohorts focused on senior leadership development.

Now What: The Strategic Architecture of Reinvention

The question is not whether your business, or your career, will face a moment that requires complete reinvention. The question is whether you will have a framework ready when that moment arrives. Larisa Miller’s professional life was built from scratch in a foreign country, after a personal crisis stripped everything down to zero. What she built from 2013 forward: a global advisory firm, board roles on four continents, a publishing record, a presence in government corridors and royal courts. None of it was the result of resilience as a sentiment. It was the result of architecture.

This keynote is built for leaders facing transformation: how to move from surviving disruption to designing your next iteration with intention. Equal parts strategic and personal, it delivers the frameworks and the proof that they work.

Best for: C-suite leaders facing transformation, executive women's leadership cohorts, board strategy retreats, and senior leadership programmes.

Build Before You’re Ready: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Starting, Scaling, and Staying in the Game

Nobody who has built something meaningful did it with every advantage in place at the start. The myth of the perfect moment, the right investor, and the fully formed plan has stopped more businesses from existing than any market condition ever has. This keynote is built for entrepreneurs and emerging professionals who are figuring it out in real time.

Larisa Miller built her career from scratch in a foreign country, with no safety net, in rooms where nobody expected her to be. What she constructed from 2013 forward, across 20+ countries on five continents, was not the result of waiting for conditions to align. It was the result of moving when the conditions were imperfect and building the plane on the way down.

This keynote delivers honest, specific, actionable frameworks for making the first move, building credibility before you have a track record, navigating the loneliness and pressure of early-stage building, and positioning for scale when the moment arrives. Not theory. Operational reality from someone who has lived it.

Best for: entrepreneurs, founder cohorts, accelerator programmes, university and business school audiences, and emerging professional networks.

Also suited for: Entrepreneurship & Emerging Professionals; University and Accelerator Programs

The New Leadership Profile: What the Last Five Years Have Changed

The leadership attributes that worked five years ago will not carry the next decade. The shift from positional authority to substantive credibility, the public dimension of senior leadership, the speed required to read and respond to issues in real time, and the cross-cultural fluency that has moved from specialty skill to core competence have all reshaped what effective senior leadership looks like.

Drawing from two decades of operating across regions, industries, and institutional environments designed for a different generation of leaders, Larisa Miller delivers a frank and specific working guide to the leadership profile the next decade actually demands. For senior executives, board members, and emerging leadership cohorts navigating the question of what to build next.

Best for: senior executives, board members, emerging leadership cohorts, and corporate leadership programmes navigating the next decade of leadership demands.

Also suited for: Business Strategy & Disruption (Pillar 3)

The Quiet Power: What Women Operators in Emerging Markets Have Learned That the West Has Lost

Women operating as principals across the Gulf, Africa, and the Mediterranean have built different leadership capabilities than the corporate-ladder model that defined the previous Western generation. They have built across cultural complexity, navigated institutional environments not designed for them, and learned strategic patience and political fluency that Western corporate leadership has largely lost.

This keynote draws on Larisa Miller’s operational experience across multiple emerging markets to deliver a strategic argument about what the West has forgotten that emerging-market women operators have had to learn — and why those lessons matter for the next decade of global leadership. For women’s leadership audiences, corporate executive cohorts, and senior teams thinking seriously about the leadership profile the next era will require.

Best for: women's leadership audiences, senior executive cohorts, corporate boards, and emerging-market leadership programmes.

Also suited for: Global Business & Soft Diplomacy (Pillar 1)

• Pillar 6 — Technology, Infrastructure & Digital Transformation

Blockchain in Government: When the Technology Is Ready and the Institutions Are Not

The case for blockchain in public services has been made in theory for nearly a decade. The reality on the ground is that the technology now works, the cost structure has collapsed, and a small number of governments, particularly in the Gulf, have moved into actual deployment. The gap between what is technically possible and what most institutions have implemented is enormous, and the countries that close that gap first will have structural advantages in transparency, service delivery, and citizen trust that compound for decades.

Drawing from direct work on digital government projects with Phoenix Global, Larisa Miller delivers a strategic briefing on where blockchain actually belongs in public services, the institutional adaptation required to deploy it successfully, and what the early deployments have taught us about what works and what does not.

Best for: government leadership, public-sector policy advisors, digital government cohorts, and technology partners serving sovereign clients.

AI, Public Services, and the Question of Trust

Every government in the world is now making decisions about how to integrate artificial intelligence into public-facing services. Most of those decisions are being made without a coherent framework for the question that actually determines outcomes: where does AI build citizen trust, and where does it corrode it?

Drawing from active work on digital transformation projects across multiple sovereign clients, Larisa Miller delivers a strategic framework for AI deployment in public services: the categories of work where automation demonstrably improves outcomes, the categories where it collapses trust, and the governance architecture that separates the two. For government leaders, policy advisors, and the technology partners serving them.

Best for: government leaders, policy advisors, public-sector digital transformation teams, and technology partners serving sovereign clients.

Infrastructure Is Strategy: Why Transportation and Logistics Decide Who Wins Emerging Markets

Most analyses of emerging market opportunity focus on demographics, resources, and market size. The operators who actually win in those markets know that none of it matters without functioning transportation and logistics infrastructure, and that the countries making the right infrastructure bets right now will be the beneficiaries of the next two decades of global trade reorientation.

Drawing from Phoenix Global’s work on transportation and trade corridor projects, and direct experience with sovereign infrastructure programs in the Gulf and Africa, Larisa Miller delivers a strategic briefing on infrastructure as competitive positioning: which corridors are forming, who is financing them, what the partnership structures look like, and why infrastructure decisions made this decade will determine economic geography for the rest of the century.

Best for: infrastructure investors, corporate strategy teams, sovereign capital advisors, and senior leadership in transportation and logistics.

The Quiet Economy: Why the Physical Infrastructure Buildout Is the Most Important Story Markets Are Missing

While market attention is consumed by AI and digital disruption, the quiet capital is flowing into the physical infrastructure that underpins both — ports, logistics corridors, data centres, power generation, connectivity, water. The geographic centre of that infrastructure buildout has shifted decisively away from the West and into the Gulf, Africa, and Mediterranean basin.

Drawing from Phoenix Global’s direct involvement in cross-border infrastructure projects and from operational presence in the regions where the buildout is happening, Larisa Miller delivers a strategic briefing on where the cranes, cables, ports, and power stations are actually being built, who is financing them, and why reading the physical economy is a clearer signal of the next market shift than anything the digital conversation tells you. For corporate strategy, institutional investors, infrastructure professionals, and family offices positioning for the next infrastructure cycle.

Best for: corporate strategy teams, institutional investors, infrastructure professionals, and family offices positioning around the next infrastructure cycle.
