Hugh McLeod established Assynt Associates in 2003, producing briefing and analysis on terrorism and country risk issues to large companies and government entities with interests in the Middle East, Asia and beyond.  In April their eleven-strong-team became part of Stirling Assynt (Europe), of which Hugh is Chief Operating Officer.  

From 2006-7 Hugh was also Head of Security Intelligence in HSBC.  Earlier, he spent 18 years in HM Diplomatic Service, with postings to Islamabad, Accra, Nicosia - where he served as Political Counsellor - and Kosovo. During his service in London his responsibilities included Counter-Terrorism, the Arabian Peninsula and the Former Soviet Union.  

Before joining the Diplomatic Service he was in the Army for 14 years, where he served as an infantry officer. His final appointment was to the Military Mission to the Soviet Forces in East Germany, where he received an award for distinguished service.

Briefing Subject: Al-Qaeda failed to land a major blow on the West last year or in the first part of this.  Its Iraq franchise remains under pressure.  The jihadist movement prospers in places like Afghanistan and Pakistan, though, and there has been a marked upsurge in the number of countries in which significant al-Qaeda attacks have been executed or attempted. What does this mean for business, both at home and in the countries of highest risk?
