Johan's Story

Johan Obdola is a globally recognized geopolitical and intelligence analyst, advisor, and international speaker who has worked in some of the world’s most volatile and conflict-ridden regions. As a Venezuelan-born Canadian citizen, Johan has become one of the foremost authorities on narco-terrorism and transnational crime, with expertise extending far beyond Latin America into Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.

For more than three decades, he has advised governments, security agencies, and international organizations, bringing first-hand experience from war zones, high-risk operations, and crisis management missions. Johan has delivered keynote speeches and strategic briefings across continents, influencing policy and shaping security strategies at the highest levels.

In 1996, he sought refuge in Canada, committing his life to combating global security threats. As President of IOSI GLOBAL, he continues to serve on international boards, mentor the next generation of analysts, and contribute to humanitarian initiatives that protect vulnerable populations. Frequently featured in global media, Johan’s voice has shaped international discourse on terrorism, organized crime, and geopolitical transformation.

Despite facing direct threats from drug cartels and state-linked actors, Johan remains resolute in his mission — driven by an unshakable commitment to justice, peace, and the defence of human dignity worldwide.

A Statement from Johan Obdola


For over three decades, I have stood on the front lines of a collapsing world order—working in war zones, advising governments, confronting narco-terrorist networks, and uncovering the shadow systems that shape global instability.

My mission is not simply to report on these realities, but to reveal them—connecting intelligence, strategic analysis, and lived experience from the Americas to the Middle East, from Africa to Europe.

Today, I invite you to be part of this journey.
