GLG

🌉 GLG is excited to announce we’re opening an office in San Francisco – the heart of tech and AI innovation – early next year! Our newest office will expand our global footprint, getting us even closer to our partners in the Bay and across the West Coast. With our best-in-class service on the ground in San Francisco, we'll continue to raise the bar with industry-leading technology and welcome ambitious, talented people to the team. Want to play a key role in growing this global hub? We’re looking for commercially minded teammates who are ready to hit the ground running. You’ll work closely with our leaders, as well as experts at the top of their fields and decision makers at the most influential corporations, consultancies, and financial services firms in the world. 👀 Check out our openings here: https://lnkd.in/eFaCtQ2e

AI has created a challenge of trust. While generative systems offer financial professionals extraordinary speed, they still can’t guarantee compliance or fully source their outputs. That’s why GLG’s model resonates: Human intelligence is a core input for trusted outcomes.   It was great to be among peers who share this belief at this week’s Reuters Events Momentum AI Finance conference, where I spoke on a panel about the biggest risks and opportunities shaping autonomous finance. Thank you to Josh Haecker, Richard Stobo, Jessica Renier, and Chris Donahoe for the thoughtful conversation.   As I said to my fellow panelists, the firms that win will pair AI with vetted human expertise to validate insights and reduce risk. That blend – machine scale with human certainty – will be the difference maker in the coming era of financial decision-making.   #ReutersMomentum

“GLG is number one for me.” For years, tech investors have lined up to speak with Ben Legg, eager to tap into his perspective as a seasoned executive and advisor in the industry. We asked him why GLG remains his preferred partner for sharing his expertise. 🏋 “It makes me raise the bar on the quality of my insights,” he told us. With almost 2,000 calls under his belt, Ben says GLG’s process is unmatched, helping him quickly deliver the most valuable lessons from his decades in tech leadership. And the value goes both ways. GLG clients spur him to explore questions he hasn’t yet considered. 🔄 “It’s a two-way street for learning.”

It's been a week to celebrate as we opened our new office space in Hong Kong! Chief of Asia-Pacific Moe Ali, General Counsel Laurence Herman, Head of Greater China Vivian Z., and Head of APAC Finance Pascale Dillon, GAICD joined GLGers and clients for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate. Since establishing our Hong Kong presence in 2005, we’ve been proud to support our clients and experts in the global commercial hub and across the Asia-Pacific. The new space will empower our teammates on the ground to continue driving strong partnerships, innovation, and success throughout the region. 

It was such a pleasure to be back in Singapore last week alongside Moe Ali and our talented APAC Leadership. Our clients across the fast-growing region have big ambitions, and GLG brings the irreplaceable power of human expertise to their decision making each and every day. It was wonderful spending time with our teams, meeting our newest GLGers, and celebrating some key appointments.   Congratulations to Head of APAC Research Fergus Clarke, Head of Gurugram Arindam Ghosh, Head of Korea Jessie Yang, and Head of Greater China Vivian Z..    

Dr. Caleb R.S. McEntire became a GLG expert to share his passion for neurology. As it turns out, it's a subject that interests GLG clients, too – and our new mobile app makes connecting with them easier than ever. Since he started using the app, Dr. McEntire has been able to go through his project queue, fly through screening questionnaires with the help of his past answers and AI, and even schedule GLG calls during his morning commute to Mass General Hospital, where he treats patients with neurological diseases and studies emergent therapies. It's helped him find a rhythm, he tells us. He can focus on the front lines of his field in his day job, and then talk to leading investors and consultants about its distant horizons, all without skipping a beat. 🧠 💫 "It's the kind of thing I got into neurology for," he says, engaging with real-world problems and the people working to solve them.

AI may primarily be an efficiency tool in the short term – but in the long run, it can be foundational to a company’s strategy.   That was one of the central takeaways from a recent event at GLG New York, where we welcomed clients, experts, and colleagues for an evening focused on AI’s continuing disruption of the investment space.  A big thank you to the experts who shared their insight in roundtables and a panel discussion, moderated by our own Nash Wedderburn, MBA: 👉 Tom L., former Head of Data Science at Advent International 👉 Cerwin M., former Global Head of Transformation – Technology at State Street 👉 Ben Reeves, former Chief Investment Officer at Wealthsimple.inc  The experts agreed that shrewd investors will recognize AI’s power to drive smarter decisions, stronger performance, and future value in years and decades – as well as the importance of human oversight and governance at every step of the way.  The evening closed with a lively happy hour to keep the conversations going.

Wishing all who celebrate a joyful Diwali filled with light, inspiration, and renewed energy! 🪔💫

"I never get enough." For supply chain expert Angela Brunk, GLG calls feed her natural curiosity. More than a transfer of knowledge, the conversations provide an outlet to learn and solve new problems, she told us. The impulse drove her 30-year career at Caterpillar – and still gets her excited to talk through complex questions in industrial logistics with GLG clients. 🧩 "I want to understand how the puzzle pieces fit together. Not just how they fit, but why."

GLG just published a report based on our survey of 300+ senior business leaders across Asia-Pacific, which reveals how firms throughout the region aren’t just mitigating risks, but pursuing big new opportunities.    You can check out the full “Navigating Trade and Tariffs 2025” report here: https://ter.li/9sy9rk    A few key takeaways:  ➡️ Half of respondents have shifted their market focus away from the U.S.  ➡️ Of Asia-Pacific automotive and aerospace exporters who are adjusting their manufacturing footprints, 52% favor the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) as a manufacturing location.  ➡️ In China, 66% of exporters are looking to target their sales and marketing efforts beyond the U.S., with 71% citing ASEAN as a region of focus.    It’s seismic shifts like these that make Asia-Pacific the most exciting and interesting region in the world to do business. We at GLG are proud to help our clients chart their course in such a dynamic environment with verified, first-hand expertise.    We’ll be hosting events in Singapore, in Australia, and virtually to share expert perspectives on the findings in the coming weeks – stay tuned here for updates: https://ter.li/9sy9rk.    A big thank you to GLG expert Jayant Menon for analyzing the results and writing up the findings. If you’d like to chat about the survey, or how GLG can partner with you, don’t hesitate to reach out!
