She lectured on the financing of terrorism at Cambridge Judge Business School.[citation needed] Napoleoni advises several governments on counter-terrorism.[citation needed][4] As chairman of the counter terrorism financing group for the Club de Madrid, she brought heads of state from around the world together to create a new strategy for combatting the financing of terror networks.[5]
