In a private talk for Pi Capital members, Michael Calvey shared the personal and geopolitical story behind his book Odyssey Moscow. Drawing on decades of investment experience in Russia and the events surrounding his 2019 arrest, Calvey offered an insider’s perspective on the intersection of business, law, and politics in a high-risk environment.

The discussion provided Pi Capital’s community of business leaders and investors with a rare, firsthand account of the challenges of operating in emerging markets — and the broader lessons for global investment strategy in an increasingly unstable world.
