The firms aim to address the growing complexity of the Canada-U.S. relationship by combining AGS’s focus on U.S. national security and economic policy with Wellington’s deep bench of Canadian political advisors. AGS, founded by former National Security Advisor Robert C. O'Brien and former NSC Chief of Staff Alexander Gray, brings significant policy weight to the table, supported by a leadership team that includes former World Bank President David Malpass and former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison.

American Global Strategies and Wellington Advocacy Form North American Alliance
Washington-based American Global Strategies and Canadian firm Wellington Advocacy have launched a strategic partnership to advise corporations navigating the tightening web of North American trade, cross-border policy, and geopolitical risk. The move aligns a roster of former high-level government officials from both nations to provide integrated counsel for business leaders.
Wellington Advocacy, led by CEO Nick Koolsbergen, complements this with a team experienced in the inner workings of Canadian governance. Their Strategic Advisory Board, chaired by former Clerk of the Privy Council Wayne Wouters, includes figures such as former Official Opposition Leader Thomas Mulcair and former trade officials. This collaboration is designed to provide clients with a unified perspective on the regulatory and political currents in both Ottawa and Washington, offering a bridge for companies struggling to manage trade uncertainty and shifting international market conditions.
