American Global Strategies Welcomes Ambassador Ed McMullen as Senior Advisor

In a significant move to bolster its advisory capabilities, American Global Strategies LLC has announced that Ambassador Ed McMullen (Ret.) will join the firm as a Senior Advisor. This addition comes as AGS strives to enhance its support for clients navigating complex public policy, geopolitical landscapes, and business environments.

Ambassador McMullen brings over 30 years of valuable experience in public policy, politics, and business on both a national and international scale. His tenure as the U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein, appointed by President Trump in 2017, is particularly noteworthy. During his transformative time in office, he cultivated robust bilateral relations between the U.S. and Switzerland, which are hailed as the strongest in history. While serving, he focused primarily on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and established connections with more than 300 CEOs across both countries, advocating for a favorable climate for economic growth. His proactive diplomacy played a pivotal role in elevating Switzerland's economy from the eighth-largest to the sixth-largest in global rankings.

Prior to this, Ambassador McMullen founded McMullen Public Affairs, a corporate advertising and public relations firm situated in South Carolina, and he presided over his family investment holding company. His wealth of experience in these diverse fields positions him uniquely to support AGS's strategic objectives across various sectors.

Alexander Gray, CEO of AGS, expressed his enthusiasm about the new appointment, stating, "Ambassador McMullen's addition to the firm will help AGS continue to provide unparalleled expertise to our clients across the defense, energy, technology, and pharmaceutical sectors." He emphasized the firm’s commitment to expanding its team with highly skilled former senior officials who are well-prepared to assist their global clientele in navigating the evolving geopolitical landscape.

Supporting this sentiment, AGS Chairman Ambassador Robert C. O'Brien (Ret.) remarked, "Ed is a dedicated public servant with decades of experience dealing directly with the issues and challenges facing our clients. We are pleased he will be supporting AGS as we expand our client offerings and services."

Founded by former National Security Advisor Robert C. O'Brien and former National Security Council Chief of Staff Alexander B. Gray, American Global Strategies operates as a boutique strategic advisory firm. The core team comprises professionals who have served in various capacities at the White House, the State Department, Treasury, Commerce, USTR, the Pentagon, and Capitol Hill, further underscoring the firm's expertise and commitment to excellence in service delivery.

As AGS embarks on this new chapter with Ambassador McMullen, clients can anticipate enhanced advisory services tailored to navigating the intricacies of global policy and business challenges, positioning them for success in increasingly competitive markets. This expansion reflects AGS's strategic vision to remain at the forefront of providing comprehensive solutions that meet the diverse needs of its clients.

The headquarters of AGS is located in Washington, D.C., serving as a central hub for the firm's extensive operations and client engagements.
