He now authors The Monthly Barometer, a succinct predictive analysis exclusively provided to private investors and some of today's most influential opinion and decision-makers.

Thierry’s research and speeches cover all areas of global economics, politics and society; anything that might impact on long and short-term investments and opportunities. His book Global Risk: Business Success in Turbulent Times analyses operating in a rapidly changing and increasingly complex business environment and the various new kinds of risk organisations face from project risks, competitive risks, and currency risks to threats from climate change, civil unrest, terrorism, attacks on digital infrastructure or pandemics.
