Alero studies the impact of political risk on multi-national corporations’ behavior. She reached out in 2018 and again in 2019 because she was looking to speak with folks who have experience with how they respond to expropriation. Here’s what she said afterwards: 

“I heard about r4i through the American Political Science Association email list. I approached them with a long shot request to recruit industry experts from the oil and gas industry for a research project. A long shot request as r4i does not specialize in this area of matching. Though we were both skeptical about the possibility of success, they proceeded in a creative way and were able to match me with a candidate. I came back a few months after with another long shot request. I am most impressed with r4i’s desire to try even when it seems impossible and how they coach clients to maximize opportunities and requests.”
