Subject Matter Experts

Alongside the core team, our network of associated Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) contribute to our broader global outreach. Our SMEs have had long and distinguished careers across public and private sectors, including in international diplomacy, defence and security, industry and technology and the energy and resources sector. They are also available for commentary in the media upon request. Their involvement strengthens the breadth and depth of perspectives that inform HCSS’s research and analysis.
