The latter focuses on targeting operational risk managers, government affairs directors, and strategy directors at enterprise-level businesses within multinational groups with a global presence. The service particularlyutilises AI to synthesise billions of data points, score risk, and alert businesses to significant threats to their industry and company. The former, our OTR, crosses all three brands (Frontier View, Dragonfly and Oxford Analytica) within FNGI and focuses on our bespoke consultative solutions for clients. This outreach will be directed to a myriad of groups from general managers, heads of regions and economists, to security professionals and financial planners.
