Navigating strategic capital and national security with clarity
The Honorable Shannon Corless is one of Washington's foremost authorities on foreign investment risk and economic security. A career intelligence officer, Shannon's two decades of service culminated in a Presidential nomination and Senate confirmation as the U.S. Treasury's Assistant Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis — advising the White House, the Cabinet, and the Director of National Intelligence on the national security implications of global capital flows.
Economic statecraft is now a primary instrument of geopolitical competition. The expanded use of foreign and outbound investment screening, tougher sanctions enforcement, dual-use technology sensitivity, politicization of capital flows, and tighter allied coordination are reshaping the risk calculus for cross-border investment.
The costs of missteps are concrete: abandoned transactions, regulatory uncertainty premiums, limited partner backlash, reputational impairment, and deal failure.
What's often missing is the ability to see these risks early — before they become constraints. Shannon founded EQV to provide the intelligence-grade foresight and senior-level judgment that only comes from over two decades building and leading this discipline from the ground up — helping investors and boards act with clarity at the moment it matters most.
