Early career
Sakhnini initially worked for the investment bank Nesbitt Burns and for the Department of Finance Canada.[8][7] He participated in the 28th Annual Meeting of the Canadian Economics Association in Calgary in June 1994,[11] and authored three of Department of Finance's Fiscal Policy and Economic Analysis Branch working papers in 1995.[11][12][13] In one of these papers, written jointly with Steven James and Chris Matier, he argued in favour of pre-funded pension plans for the baby boomer generation as a source of investment and economic growth, siding with the World Bank in the debate over the future of the Canada Pension Plan.[14]
He later founded and co-directed the financial technology firm ISGroup, which provided services to mutual funds and hedge funds.[7]
In the 2000s, he spent eight years as a partner (or associate principal[15]) at McKinsey & Company advising media and technology executives.[16][9]
Ook in Nepal zijn gelijksoortige netwerken actief. Het Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) waarschuwde al maanden geleden voor de nieuwe socialemediawet die de regering wilde invoeren. Op het moment dat de invoering van die wet werd aangekondigd, barstte de protestgolf los. CPJ ontvangt financiering van grote Amerikaanse en Europese bedrijven, tech-giganten als Google en Meta, en stichtingen als de Open Society Foundations van Soros en de Ford Foundation. Ook andere organisaties doken op, zoals Accountability Lab, met wortels in Washington en gesteund door het Amerikaanse ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken. Daarnaast heeft het Freedom Forum, dat direct gelinkt is aan de Britse ambassade, veel invloed. Verder is er het ChildSafeNet dat partnerschappen onderhoudt met Europese fondsen.
