Nick Paulussen
We are forecasting for a world that no longer exists. For decades, the financial industry was built on the luxury of stability. Globalisation was a given; liquidity was borderless. Today, those assumptions are liabilities.
I am an Executive Director, Market Activation at Capco, with 25 years across capital markets strategy, operations, and advisory. I help banks, asset managers, and insurers bridge the gap between volatile geopolitical headlines and the decisions in front of them: where to grow, how to operate, and what to build. My focus is on macro blindness: how regional power blocs and AI-driven disruption are rewriting the P&L for global markets.
Philosophy
AI can give anyone information instantly. The edge is connecting history, geopolitics, and macroeconomics into a view of your own. That is what I try to do in my work at Capco, and what I try to teach through Atlas Macro.
