About the firm

The Pacific Divide is a strategic advisory firm. We help executives, investors, and governments anticipate China’s industrial strategy and act ahead of it, across energy, biotechnology, semiconductors, and supply chains.

Our advantage is unglamorous: we work from what Beijing actually publishes, in the language it publishes in, and every finding we deliver is traceable to a source you can check.

We serve boards and executive teams with China exposure, investors pricing it, and governments responding to it. Engagements are taken selectively, and the firm works for one side of a question at a time.

The principal

The firm’s work is led by its founding principal, Russ Wilcox. His analysis appears in China Brief at the Jamestown Foundation and The Diplomat, and in the written evidence record of the UK House of Commons, and his assessments have informed decision-makers in Washington, London, and allied capitals.
