With a joint legacy of building AI-enabled, industry-leading geopolitical practices and serving entities ranging from national security agencies to Fortune 500 companies, co-founders Sonnet Frisbie and Jason McMann combine elite diplomatic insight with advanced data science.
Sonnet Frisbie spent over a decade as a career diplomat with the U.S. Foreign Service, specializing in issues at the intersection of politics and economics. She served in Mexico, the Czech Republic, Iraq, Poland, and Washington D.C.
A conviction that public and private-sector practitioners of foreign affairs needed better data-driven tools led Sonnet to leave government for Morning Consult, a high-frequency polling data and research firm, to build and launch the company's geopolitical practice. Sonnet has led numerous high-profile data and advisory engagements with national security agencies, foreign policy organizations, and Fortune 500 companies.
Her analysis has been featured in the New York Times, Axios, the Financial Times, Foreign Policy, Bloomberg, NPR's Marketplace, and The Economist, among others. She holds a B.A. in International Economics from Pepperdine University and an M.P.P. from the University of Chicago with a focus in data analytics. She is a term member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a member of the Pacific Council on International Policy, and a former Penn-Kemble fellow at the National Endowment for Democracy. Sonnet is based in Washington, D.C. and speaks Czech, Polish, German, and Spanish.
Jason I. McMann is a PhD-trained quantitative political scientist with extensive experience at the intersection of data science and high-frequency political risk analysis. Prior to co-founding GeoLexis, Jason served as Head of Analytics at GeoQuant, a VC-backed political risk data and modeling firm (acquired by Fitch Solutions in 2022) where he co-led efforts to quantify and model the impact of political risk on global asset prices.
He subsequently joined Morning Consult, a high-frequency polling data and research firm, to build and launch the company's geopolitical practice, and has led numerous high-profile data and advisory engagements with Fortune 500 companies, asset management firms, and the U.S. government. Jason holds a PhD in Political Science from Princeton University, an M.A. in International Relations from the University of Chicago, and a B.A. from NYU's Gallatin School.
His work has been featured in reporting by The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, The New York Times, Politico, and Axios, and in research by S&P Dow Jones Indices, State Street, and CitiFx. Jason is based in New York City.
