Many CEOs Believe The ‘Biggest Threat To Global Order Since The 1930s’ Is Underway

CNBC: The ‘biggest threat to global order since the 1930s’ is underway and every CEO is talking about it 

* “This may be the most dangerous time the world has seen in decades,” JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said in a statement that accompanied the bank’s recent earnings release. 

 * The bank CEO isn’t the only corporate leader growing more worried about geopolitics, according to Frederick Kempe, CEO of the Atlantic Council. 

* Kempe said at CNBC Global Evolve on Thursday that many CEOs he talks with are increasingly worried about China, Russia and the Middle East. “Geopolitics is coming into the boardroom in a way it hasn’t in my lifetime.”

That’s according to Frederick Kempe, CEO of foreign policy think tank Atlantic Council, and it is a fear he says more CEOs of major corporations are focused on today. 

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon recently warned, “This may be the most dangerous time the world has seen in decades.” 

According to Kempe, that’s a feeling shared in many corporate boardrooms.

“Every CEO, all the banks I am talking to, are factoring in geopolitics in their thinking in a way they didn’t five years ago,” Kempe said at the CNBC Global Evolve virtual summit on Thursday.

Geopolitics is now being discussed in the boardrooms, and corporate decisions, policies, and strategies are being influenced by these global events and trends.
