Irma Argüello

A global strategist working at the intersection of security, technology, and international affairs, with a career combining scientific training, executive experience, and policy leadership to address complex global challenges.

A physicist from the University of Buenos Aires, she also holds an MBA and has undertaken postgraduate studies in defense and security. Earlier in her career, she held management positions at ExxonMobil, leading high-stakes planning and business processes. This combination of scientific, executive, and policy experience has shaped a multidisciplinary approach bridging hard science, business, international security, and diplomacy.

She is director of the NPSGLOBAL International Program and teaches nuclear technology and artificial intelligence. Since founding NPSGLOBAL in 2007, she has led research, strategic dialogues, international programs, and collaborative initiatives involving governments, international organizations, academia, and technical communities. She is a former associate fellow at Chatham House and a member of the World Economic Forum.

Her current work examines the implications of advanced AI and other frontier technologies for strategic stability, human preservation, diplomacy, institutional adaptation, and decision-making under uncertainty, with particular attention to how technological change reshapes power, international cooperation, and human agency.
