Verificado @lkcm.comDr. Zegart did a fantastic job and our clients thoroughly enjoyed her presentation. She is an excellent speaker and very well versed on the issues of cyber-security and political risks on a global basis. Her remarks were well organized and easy to follow. She did a great job of integrating real world, real time examples that made her remarks even more entertaining. The Q&A session went for 45 minutes and Dr. Zegart was extremely responsive, gave thoughtful answers and was very engaging. It was our best conference thanks to Dr. Zegart. I would highly recommend Dr. Zegart for her expertise on political risk, and as a terrific speaker.
