Recent geopolitical events, including President Trump's second inauguration, are set to significantly impact the business landscape. Companies are now facing the potential effects of new trade protectionism policies, tariff hikes, and changes in immigration laws on their operations. In addition, global conflicts continue to shape the landscape, and there is a lack of cohesive global leadership.

Our host Susanne Sallinen is joined by esteemed guests Stefano Moritsch, the global geopolitics leader at KPMG International, Karoliina Raula, KPMG Finland’s expert on global mobility and geopolitical matters. Chelsea Hsieh, partner and US immigration expert from KPMG LLP, joins later in the episode to address specific implications for US-based immigration and steps companies can take in response to potential policy changes under President Trump’s administration. Tune in to learn how to remain successful amid uncertainty by adapting the Finnish "sisu" mindset.
