Independent strategic adviser: technology, investment and government
Working with leaders across the UK, Europe, the US, the GCC and Asia
Leaders in AI, quantum, life sciences, deeptech and space do not just compete on technology. They are judged by governments, investors and institutions that shape markets, policy and access to capital. I advise governments, companies, investors and leadership teams on how they are understood in these environments, and how to navigate them with clarity and intent.
I am Julio Romo, founder of Twofourseven Strategy. For 25 years I have advised senior decision-makers across government, investment and deep tech, building the stakeholder strategies, reputation frameworks and engagement programmes that determine whether a technology company is trusted, funded and given room to operate. Where specialist counsel is needed, I draw on a trusted network of former diplomats, senior civil servants and sector experts to deliver it. Learn more about Julio Romo.
