Recognition highlights MacIntyre’s two decades of intelligence and national security leadership now driving global geopolitical risk strategy in the private sector
Tysons Corner, Virginia – April 13, 2026 – growth[period], a strategic advisory firm serving public- and private-sector clients at moments of growth, complexity, and transformation,] is proud to announce that Mirriam-Grace MacIntyre, Senior Partner for Global Geopolitical Risk Management, has been recognized by The Leaders Globe magazine in its annual “Women Excellence – The Visionary Leaders 2026” listing. The distinction honors pioneering women who combine innovation with leadership excellence to create opportunity, empower others, and shape the future of business and society.
MacIntyre brings more than 20 years of experience in intelligence, counterintelligence, and global security to her work with growth[period], where she advises organizations on business growth, market expansion, and geopolitical risk strategy. Prior to joining the firm, she served as Executive Director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, overseeing operations to protect national interests from foreign intelligence threats. She also served on the National Security Council as Director for Counterintelligence, where she led policy development and advised senior decision-makers on complex security challenges.
At growth[period], MacIntyre works with organizations at critical inflection points, helping leadership teams understand how geopolitical dynamics affect their ability to access markets, move goods, and generate value. Her approach moves companies beyond reactive risk management and toward strategic foresight as a competitive capability.
“Geopolitical risk should become a strategic capability that positions organizations to seize opportunity,” said MacIntyre.
Among her current initiatives is the development of an AI-powered geopolitical risk dashboard in partnership with Aureclar. The platform analyzes geopolitical indicators and equips executives and boards with actionable intelligence to improve governance and decision-making. MacIntyre has been clear that the technology is designed to augment – not replace – human judgment, serving as a force multiplier for leaders navigating complex global environments.
MacIntyre’s long-term vision is to make sophisticated geopolitical risk intelligence accessible not only to large multinationals, but also to mid-sized companies and startups, recognizing that every organization operates within a geopolitical landscape that can affect supply chains, talent, regulation, and reputation.
The Leaders Globe feature notes that her leadership philosophy is rooted in resilience built over time, and shaped by pivotal experiences, influential mentors, and the daily decisions that define character and judgment.
