In the second episode of Boardroom Statecraft, we examine why corporations have become prime targets in today’s era of ideological conflict and radicalization.

Building on our exploration of the new Gilded Age, this episode unpacks how reputational, ideological, and physical threats are converging to create an unprecedented risk environment for businesses and their leaders.

We discuss the collapse of corporate neutrality, the rise of online ecosystems that enable doxxing, swatting, and lone-wolf violence, and the assassination of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO as a case study of how symbolic acts can inspire further attacks.

Finally, we outline what companies must do to adapt—from rethinking executive security and crisis management to developing intelligence capabilities that track emerging narratives before they become threats.
