Aziz Mulay-Shah
Aziz Mulay-Shah is a seasoned expert in geopolitics including an almost 17-year career as a Canadian diplomat and over 8 years consulting on government affairs and geopolitical risk issues for clients in the MENA region and North America. He served as a diplomat across the Middle East primarily addressing issues of conflict resolution, regional security, and a comprehensive peace process. He served as Deputy Coordinator for the Peace Process from 2003 – 2007, the Head of Middle East Policy in the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada from 2007-2008, and as Deputy Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates from 2008 – 2012. Throughout his career, he focussed on how geopolitics affects commercial activity. This was exemplified in Aziz leading the creation of a geopolitical unit within Canada’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs that specialized in providing investment information and policy options related to global sovereign wealth funds. Following a secondment to PwC, Aziz learned the fine art of geopolitical consulting which he translated into developing his own consulting practice. He currently advises Canadian clients on the geopolitical risks of doing business in the MENA region and is leading the development of policy initiatives for governments interested in the science of wellbeing and wellbeing economics.
