Washington, DC | May 27, 2026 — The Asia Group (TAG) is pleased to welcome Belma Ambrose as Managing Principal. As part of TAG’s global growth strategy, Ambrose joins the TAG team to expand the firm’s European presence and deepen its advisory capabilities across the corridor connecting European and Asian markets — one of the most consequential and fast-moving axes of global commerce and geopolitics today.
“Belma’s background in strategic advisory across Europe and the United States, combined with her deep experience managing high-level engagement at major global forums, makes her an exceptional addition to the TAG team,” said Nirav Patel, CEO and Co-Founder of TAG. “As companies increasingly look to TAG to help them navigate a fragmented geopolitical environment, her expertise will be a tremendous asset to our clients and to the firm’s continued growth.”
Prior to joining TAG, Ambrose served as Managing Director at Global Counsel, a British strategic advisory firm, where she was a member of the firm’s executive committee. Based first in London and later in Washington, she advised multinational clients across sectors on geopolitical, regulatory, and reputational challenges spanning Europe, the United States, and Asia. She also led major convening and stakeholder engagement efforts around forums including the World Economic Forum, UN General Assembly, and IMF and World Bank Meetings.
At TAG, Ambrose will deepen the firm’s engagement across Europe and strengthen its work at the intersections where European policy, capital, and corporate strategy meet Asian markets. Her work will focus on helping clients build the relationships, visibility, and decision-maker access needed to operate with confidence across both regions.
“The Europe-Asia geocommercial corridor has never been more strategically important — or more complex to navigate,” said Rexon Ryu, President of TAG. “Belma brings exactly the combination of transatlantic fluency, geopolitical depth, and convening credibility that clients need to generate business outcomes amidst geopolitical volatility.”
