About the firm

A consulting firm built on the discipline of military intelligence — in the service of corporate strategy.

BrokenMap exists because the questions that decide an international expansion — Who really holds influence? What risks aren't in the briefing deck? Which partner will still be standing in three years? — are intelligence questions before they are business questions.

Why BrokenMap

Four qualities that shape every engagement.

Operational experience translated into strategy

Every recommendation is filtered through years of real-world command, intelligence work, and multinational operations — not theoretical frameworks.

A genuine bilingual, bicultural bridge

European and American markets don't just speak different languages — they operate on different institutional logics. We move fluently in both.

Geopolitical rigor

Intelligence-analysis discipline applied to the questions corporate leaders ask before making cross-border commitments.

Discretion by default

Given the security, defense, and technology sectors we serve, confidentiality isn't a policy — it's a habit built over a career.
