Harry Broadman

Harry Brodman is a global authority in international finance, investment and trade, business growth, risk management and innovation strategies, and corporate governance. As one of the earliest continuous entrepreneurs, he not only conducted interdisciplinary learning multiple times, but also held various high-level positions and decision-makers in private enterprises. Broadman is a true thought leader who foresaw the hidden forces that change the underlying structure and characteristics of the world market long before the term globalization became popular. Broadman focuses on building cross-border transactions that drive the company's development, and he has shown a strong interest in emerging markets in particular. Emerging markets have enormous development potential, and the opportunities for arbitrage continue to increase by exploiting misunderstandings about risk and return. He has collaborated with large and small companies, as well as public and private enterprises, from over 75 countries on five continents, and has helped establish many successful companies that are leading in their respective markets. He has a natural sensitivity to business operations and a strong interest in how companies can overcome misunderstandings, rapidly grow and succeed. He excels in maintaining a competitive advantage, reducing risks, and constantly pursuing innovation. Broadman can bring profound and pragmatic perspectives to the audience, and through his unique approach, he discusses how business, financial, and policy changes are affecting international markets and today's businesses in rare ways. He has a rare ability to analyze the most prominent business problems from a forward-looking perspective and reveals that the market is essentially a non-linear operating model. The audience can not only gain substantial content from his speech, but also feel his infectious humor. Brodman is currently the CEO and Managing Partner of Proa Global Partners LLC, a global cross-border investment and trading strategy company dedicated to providing practical advice for trading planning and execution in emerging markets while reducing commercial and governance risks. The company's clients include enterprises, banks, private equity fund companies, institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and high net worth individuals. Broadman is the Director of the Global Enterprise and Emerging Markets Committee at Johns Hopkins University and a Senior Researcher at the Institute of Foreign Policy. He is also a columnist for Forbes Magazine, International Newsweek, and Gulf News. He has published multiple books and published numerous professional articles in peer-reviewed economic, legal, and foreign policy journals. His recent works include the economic new frontier between China and India on the African Silk Road, asset management of Russia and the former Soviet Union, and Chinese enterprises under the global economy from disintegration to reunification.
