A Strategic Testament
By Johan Obdola | Founder, PRAEON Advisory
I did not set out to build a company.
I set out to respond — once again — to a world on the verge.
From combating narco-terrorism in Venezuela to advising institutions worldwide, this is the journey that led to PRAEON.
From Venezuela’s collapsing institutions to the frontlines of transnational crime and global intelligence cooperation, I have spent over three decades witnessing how systems rot, how terror spreads, and how corruption erodes the soul of nations. I fled my homeland not in search of safety, but of clarity — to continue the fight on a global front.
Through IOSI Global, I have worked in conflict zones, advised governments, built counterterrorism strategies, and helped expose the convergence between organized crime and geopolitical manipulation. But today, we are facing something even more complex: a hybrid world where threats no longer wear uniforms, and truth is under siege from every direction.
PRAEON Advisory is not a business venture — it is a strategic response.
It was created to serve those who must lead through chaos. To empower institutions, partners, and individuals who still believe that ethics, clarity, and resilience are not optional — they are the foundation of survival.
We do not sell services. We deliver insight. We train for uncertainty.
We speak the language of threat, of opportunity, and of the future.
Because this is not just about geopolitics. It is about people.
It is about what kind of world we are going to leave behind.
And I will not remain silent while the shadows expand.
