For nearly two decades, Husain has been a counselor to heads of government and their adjacent business leaders, operating at the intersection of public policy, geopolitics, and private markets.

As Executive Director at the Tony Blair Institute’s government advisory platform, he works with heads of government around the world to help clarify priorities, align interests, and navigate the complexities that define high-stakes leadership today. He is known for his ability to rapidly develop differentiated solutions, shape consensus, and unlock momentum in environments where timing, trust, and judgment decide outcomes.

His work often centers on large-scale implementation efforts—ranging from national agenda setting and economic transformation to security cooperation and diplomatic strategy—requiring fluency across political, economic, and institutional systems.

Alongside his public sector work, Husain advises private investors on sourcing and executing sensitive opportunities in sectors such as infrastructure, energy, and technology. He helps private equity firms distinguish themselves by becoming the kind of partner sovereign and institutional LPs seek out—strategic, aligned, and trusted—positioning them to move from GP's to long-term national partners.

Earlier in his career, Husain worked at Booz Allen Hamilton in New York and Washington D.C., across the firm’s foreign affairs and financial services practices. Prior to that, he held roles at a growth equity firm, the United Nations, and a foreign policy think tank, where his work focused on energy and geoeconomics.

His experience spans North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia—often in settings where political complexity, institutional friction, or strategic ambiguity shape the real terms of engagement.
