2R Strategy combines economic intelligence, public policy expertise, and strategic foresight to help organizations navigate uncertainty, allocate capital wisely, and anticipate structural shifts before they become crises.

Prosperity depends on how power and capital are structured.

Robin also advises on social policy and philanthropic capital strategy, helping donors and institutions deploy resources in ways that address structural drivers rather than surface symptoms. Across sectors, Robin's work focuses on aligning capital with long-term institutional impact.
