AGS and Wellington Partner for Strategic Business Advice

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- American Global Strategies and Wellington Advocacy have announced a strategic partnership aimed at providing clients with comprehensive counsel on consequential business decisions shaped by geopolitical risk, cross-border trade, tariffs, and policy uncertainty. The collaboration brings together senior experience in the United States, Canada, and allied markets, offering clients an integrated perspective on developments across the Canada-U.S. relationship and beyond.

The partnership is spearheaded by American Global Strategies (AGS), a premier strategic advisory firm founded by former U.S. National Security Advisor Robert C. O'Brien and former National Security Council Chief of Staff Alexander Gray. AGS's leadership team includes David Malpass, the former President of the World Bank; the Hon. Scott Morrison, Australia's 30th Prime Minister; Chad Wolf, former Acting Secretary of Homeland Security; and Larry Kudlow, former Director of the White House National Economic Council.

Wellington Advocacy, on the other hand, is a national, full-service public affairs firm advising business leaders and global brands on government policy and public opinion. Its advisors bring experience serving prime ministers, provincial premiers, cabinet ministers, and corporate executives across government relations, executive advisory, trade policy, and market entry, and public relations. Wellington's Strategic Advisory Board is chaired by the Hon. Wayne Wouters, Canada's 21st Clerk of the Privy Council and former Head of the Public Service. The Board also includes the Hon. Scott Morrison; Stephen de Boer, former Canadian Ambassador to the World Trade Organization; Christine Hogan, former Deputy Minister of International Trade; and the Hon. Thomas Mulcaur, former Quebec Minister of the Environment and former Leader of the Official Opposition in the Parliament of Canada.

Through this partnership, AGS and Wellington will work together on select client matters requiring closely coordinated insight across the United States and Canada, as well as broader geopolitical and international business considerations. The announcement comes at a time of heightened trade and policy uncertainty, where business leaders need clear-eyed counsel on developments in both Washington and Ottawa.

The announcement of this strategic partnership underscores the growing importance of coordinated counsel in navigating the complex landscape of geopolitical risk, cross-border trade, tariffs, and policy uncertainty. The partnership between American Global Strategies and Wellington Advocacy promises to provide clients with a more comprehensive and integrated perspective on consequential business decisions, particularly in the context of the Canada-U.S. relationship and beyond.
