About
Silvia Boltuc is the Managing Director of SpecialEurasia. Focusing on the geopolitics of Eurasia and the Middle East, her research and professional practice emphasise regional security, energy corridors, and political risk. Her multidisciplinary approach incorporates project management, risk management, and cultural intelligence to provide strategic assessments and business intelligence within complex international environments. Her expertise is supported by extensive field research and engagement with regional government entities, business stakeholders, and local experts across Eurasia. Her work examines the geopolitical and economic intersections between Middle Eastern actors, specifically Iran, and the Central Asian republics. By analysing these cross-regional dynamics, she provides a specialised framework for understanding the evolving strategic landscape of the “modern Silk Road”. As a contributor to the field, she has authored several chapters in academic and specialised publications concerning the Central Asian socio-political environment. Her methodology utilises OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) to deliver data-driven risk assessments and actionable insights. Through her leadership at SpecialEurasia, she facilitates the alignment of international strategic requirements with regional geopolitical realities, focusing on investment climates and Eurasian connectivity.
