Who we are

At PRAEON Advisory, we are more than consultants — we are strategic partners operating at the intersection of global risk, intelligence, and leadership.

Founded by Johan Obdola, an international expert in geopolitical security and institutional resilience, our firm brings decades of operational experience across Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and North America.

We support governments, institutions, and private clients in navigating complexity with clarity, foresight, and precision.

Our work is grounded in real-world insight and driven by a singular mission: to empower decision-makers facing high-stakes challenges in an increasingly volatile world.

“In times of global disorder, war, and rising darkness, it is not fear that must lead — but the clarity, courage, and conscience of those willing to stand where others remain silent.”
— Johan Obdola
