Strategic intelligence and risk management in complex environments, with a local presence
Strategic and environmental intelligence
Polis Consultores is an multidimensional intelligence, political risk, and public affairs firm dedicated to providing personalized and tailored attention.
We help national and international companies, and their executives, anticipate scenarios of confrontation, detect early warning signs of risk of various kinds, and make decisions with greater clarity before a crisis affects their viability or profits in Venezuela, Mexico, and Colombia.
From our local presence in Venezuela and through international alliances, we help transform uncertainty into concrete, assessed, and actionable decisions.

What do we do?
We help our clients make strategic decisions in contexts where politics, the economy, regulation, reputation, social conflict, institutions, and international relations can directly affect their operations, investments, assets, positioning, or continuity.
Our work combines political analysis, economic reading, social interpretation, forward-looking scenarios, stakeholder mapping, reputational due diligence, sound regulatory-compliance practices, and executive support through the use of new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Big Data, to build scenarios and support data- and fact-based decision-making. The central question we answer is not simply what is happening — it's what it means for the client, what could change, who genuinely has the capacity to influence events, what the risks are, and what decisions should be prepared.
Differentiating Advantages
Local presence and direct access to relevant information
Polis Consultores operates in Venezuela and has direct access to information from primary sources and key actors across the political, economic, social, and institutional landscape. This presence makes it possible to identify early signals, cross-check information, understand real incentives, and offer an on-the-ground read that is difficult to obtain from a distance.
Our advantage lies in combining local presence, professional judgment, and senior experience with a genuine understanding of how society, politics, and power actually work.
Senior consultants, each with more than 20 years of experience
Each of Polis Consultores principal and associate consultants individually holds no fewer than 20 years of experience and expertise in their areas of specialization, covering political, economic, social, institutional, regulatory, and international issues related to Venezuela and the other countries in which our network of alliances operates.
We do not operate on a mass-production model of information.
We work as senior advisors for sensitive decisions that require judgment, discretion, track record, foresight, and an understanding of complex contexts.
Strategic understanding of political and social actors
Polis Consultores has direct insight into the dynamics of Venezuelan political and social leadership, the relevant institutional actors, and the possible scenarios ahead.
This capability allows for a deeper understanding of the incentives, constraints, priorities, and dilemmas of the actors who can shape the country's political, institutional, and economic future. In scenarios of change, the advantage does not lie only in knowing the current state of affairs. It lies in understanding who can make decisions, under what conditions, within what limits, with what incentives, and facing what pressures.
Decisions we help make
Polis Consultores helps its clients answer critical questions such as:
• Is it worth entering, remaining in, waiting on, expanding into, reducing exposure to, or exiting a market?
• What political, regulatory, reputational, or social risks need to be assessed?
• Which actors are relevant to a given operation, sector, or project?
• How can assets, personnel, reputation, institutional relationships, and operational continuity be protected?
• What signals should trigger a decision by the board of directors, headquarters, regional or sector management, or a crisis team?
• How should the organization responsibly engage with public, private, social, community, and international actors?
• What scenarios could substantially change a business decision?
• How should the relationship between local politics, regional dynamics, and international factors be interpreted?
Two markets.
Two complementary strengths.
A partnership for confident growth.
POLIS CONSULTORES and TRUST combine their experience, knowledge, and regional presence to support Colombian and Venezuelan companies in their decisions regarding growth, operations, and business relationships in both markets.
POLIS CONSULTORES’ in-depth knowledge of Venezuela’s political, institutional, economic, and social landscape complements TRUST’s experience in managing complex environments and its understanding of the Colombian business, institutional, and regional context.
This bilateral partnership combines strategic vision, an understanding of the environment, and the ability to take action to anticipate risks, identify opportunities, and build relationships based on trust in the Colombian market.
From Colombia to Venezuela and from Venezuela to Colombia, we help you achieve your goals in complex environments.
