Co-Founder and President
Dr. Vik Singh is an Associate Professor in the Global Management Studies program at the Ted Rogers School of Management, Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson), and Co-Founder of the Institute of Geopolitical Risk. His research and teaching focus on geopolitical risk, international business, and global socio-economic dynamics.
His work examines how geopolitical risks—ranging from trade wars and tariffs to global security tensions—shape business strategies, global supply chains, and financial markets. In particular, he investigates the challenges of evolving globalization and how tariff uncertainty has become a critical driver of risk for firms and policymakers alike.
He holds a Ph.D. in Business from Griffith University, an MBA from the Schulich School of Business (York University), and an M.A. in Economics from the University of Regina. His academic expertise is complemented by extensive consulting and collaborations with organizations such as Statistics Canada, the Canadian Automobile Dealers Association, Loblaws, the Royal Bank of Canada, and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Through this combination of scholarship, applied research, and thought leadership, Dr. Singh advances understanding at the intersection of geopolitical risk, trade policy, and sustainable business strategy.
