Keith Risk
Keith Risk specialises in helping individuals, groups and organisations including government and NGOS to resolve conflict. While the form of intervention may vary, the aim is to enable the people involved to arrive at their own decisions, resolving rather than avoiding or worsening the underlying conflict.

He worked with Citigroup for ten years in the UK and Scandanavia, and then moved to Credit Swisse in Spain. He has founded several companies in the media, film and oil industries and in 1992 became a senior consultant for an international consultancy specialising in negotiation training.
