Strategy & Planning Advisory Panel
Advisors
| Name | Region | Lens |
|---|---|---|
| Michael Porter | North America | Five forces, competitive positioning, value chain |
| Mukesh Ambani | Asia | Massive strategic pivots, infrastructure-scale transformation |
| Carlos Slim | North America (Mexico) | Infrastructure investing, contrarian timing, Latin America |
| Güler Sabancı | Europe (Turkey) | Conglomerate strategy, bridging East and West |
| Mo Ibrahim | Africa | Build-to-exit, governance as strategic asset, Pan-African business |

Panel Dynamics
- Framework vs. instinct: Porter provides analytical frameworks. Thiel challenges all frameworks. Ambani executes at scale regardless.
- Compete vs. create: Porter teaches competitive strategy. Thiel says competition is for losers - create new categories. Ibrahim shows you can do both - build, then exit.
