Ground-truth, decision-grade intelligence from the Indo-Pacific
Empowering investors and technology firms to proactively mitigate counterparty risks, secure global supply chains, and capture market opportunities.
Our Services
Counterparty Risk Assessment (CRA) Report
For investment professionals, law firms, technology companies and government agencies requiring detailed risk analysis of an organization to justify a crucial transaction or partnership—whether an acquisition or investment target, potential joint venture partner, supplier, distributor, end-customer, or licensee.
We conduct on-site visits, interview stakeholders, and gather local context—combined with primary-language research and open-source intelligence (OSINT)—to surface risks and red flags that remote research alone cannot reliably identify, building a holistic picture of the counterparty to inform your decision-making. We conduct on-the-ground engagements across Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, India, and all ASEAN member states, with partner coverage available beyond these markets.
You receive a comprehensive report with recommended actions and an executive summary, followed by an online or in-person briefing for decision-makers. Priced as a fixed-fee project.
Supply Chain Exposure (SCE) Report
For procurement, compliance, and operations leaders at technology companies and the law firms serving them seeking to identify and remediate hidden dependencies, regulatory, disruption, and compromise risk across existing supply chains in the Indo-Pacific.
We carry out on-site validation of supplier manufacturing and distribution facilities, interview key stakeholders, and verify component provenance by tracing logistics routes—combined with local-language records, databases, and open-source intelligence (OSINT)—to ensure you have the most comprehensive risk profile of your supply chain. While we assess global supply chains, we conduct physical verification activities across Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and India, with partner coverage available for supply chain nodes outside these markets.
You receive a report covering risks associated with requested segments of your supply chain—whether mapping all n-tier suppliers or focused on a single supplier—with an executive summary and a briefing call or meeting. Priced as a fixed-fee project.
We also support supply chain risk remediation and diversification efforts by sourcing, verifying, and facilitating partnerships with alternative suppliers as an additional project or ongoing retainer.
Executive Briefings
For investment and business leaders requiring time-sensitive insights on counterparty, supply chain, or market entry and expansion opportunities, as well as related policy risks related to a specific deal or decision in or across Indo-Pacific markets.
We conduct custom briefings of 60 to 90 minutes, typically through a secure video conference to align with your preferred time zone. We prepare exhaustively for each session, tailoring the intelligence to your specific objectives and operational context by drawing on our on-the-ground network and primary-language research. In-person briefings can be arranged for leadership teams visiting or based in Tokyo, Taipei or Singapore.
Aside from the briefing itself, you receive a pre-briefing objectives questionnaire, followed by a post-briefing executive summary, key action items, and all associated presentation materials if relevant. Priced as a fixed-fee engagement.
Our Story
Glucksmann Advisory was founded in 2026 by Thomas Glucksmann, following nearly two decades living, studying and working across the Indo-Pacific. Thomas brings proficiency in Mandarin and Japanese, an extensive regional network, and hands-on experience in growth, product and risk management at financial technology and cybersecurity organisations. He holds an MA in Cyber Politics and Government (Magna Cum Laude) from Tel Aviv University and a BA in Modern China Studies (First Class Honours) from the University of Hong Kong. A dual UK-French citizen, Thomas is based in Tokyo and travels extensively across Asia to conduct on-the-ground engagements.
Headquartered in London, Glucksmann Advisory primarily serves investment firms, legal advisors, technology companies and government agencies based in Europe and North America that require decision-grade intelligence on Indo-Pacific counterparties, supply chains and market opportunities. We also partner with international organisations and work closely with select professional services firms and independent consultants to expand our capabilities and geographic reach.
Our Edge
Ground-truth Verification
We go where your teams can't or won't — whether due to geographic distance, language barriers or cultural nuances — and surface risk and opportunity indicators that no database, translation tool or satellite image can capture. We verify facilities on-site, engage directly with local stakeholders and gather insights that are only obtainable through immersion on the ground.
Indo-Pacific Depth
Our extensive network and deep knowledge of the political economy, socio-cultural contexts, business practices and local logistics across the region enables us to deliver intelligence that cuts across countries, languages and industries. Where coverage for other regions — such as Europe, West Asia or Africa — is required, we work closely with specialists in those geographies.
Remediation, Not Just Risk
Beyond delivering actionable intelligence, we support remediation efforts directly — whether sourcing alternative counterparties, diversifying suppliers or facilitating market access.
High Standards of Compliance and Ethics
We strictly adhere to international anti-bribery, corruption and data privacy frameworks. We manage human intelligence ethically, ensuring all expert sources are transparently and legally compensated while rigorously protecting source privacy where required. Our methodologies are designed to withstand the highest levels of corporate compliance and regulatory scrutiny.
Practical Output
Our reports and briefings are structured to satisfy legal advisors, compliance teams and auditors, aligned with evolving regulatory requirements related to counterparty risk mitigation, supply chain transparency and market expansion.
Boutique by Design
We purposefully limit our engagements to ensure every client receives direct, undelegated attention from experienced advisors, from scoping through to delivery. Our edge is not scale or political access — it is immersion. Drawing on experience building lean, fast-moving organisations in dynamic, diverse and occasionally dangerous locations, we deliver at pace without sacrificing rigour, engaging across the full spectrum from boardrooms to factory floors.
