What Harry Broadman's clients say
"Harry led dialogs with our external Strategic Advisory Board giving context to the risks and potential opportunities we are facing in global markets with specific industry sector examples to which our members could directly relate. These discussions help set the tone for deeper discussions and specific directions that we should take with our corporate strategy."
"Harry Broadman spoke at our bi-annual US Cotton Summit to a very diverse global audience of over 400 people from 30 countries and wowed them with his impressive knowledge of the world and his insights about how history is shaping so many of the current issues we face. We had very positive reviews in our follow-up survey and I would heartily recommend Harry as a speaker."
"Harry was the keynoter for our 2023 Economic Outlook Forecast provided to 300 business sector leaders. His presentation came at a time of great uncertainty regarding interest rate hikes, inflationary pressures, global recession prospects, and challenging labor availability and attainable housing markets. He ably wove together regional, national, and international realities that were drivers for what we were experiencing. I highly recommend him if your leader audience “wants to ride the economy’s waves versus getting crushed by them on the beach.”"

Who Is Harry Broadman?
Harry Broadman’s career path is the epitome of interdisciplinary. While his work has been centered in the private sector—spanning a wide variety of roles—it has also been interspersed with stints in the public sector, academia, journalism and as an author of numerous books, professional articles and business columns.
Currently, he is a Partner and Chair of Emerging Markets at BRG LLC; an independent director on several corporate boards; and a faculty member at Johns Hopkins University. He began his career working on challenges in the natural resources sector in emerging markets at Resources for the Future, Inc., the independent preeminent think tank that gave birth to the fields of “environmental economics,” “ESG,” and “sustainability” decades before they became fashionable.
His private sector focus has evolved across global corporate finance, private equity investment, international banking and enterprise restructuring; founding a global management consulting practice at one of the Big Four on business growth strategy, sustainability and innovation; serving as a non-executive corporate board director; and providing litigation expert witness services for international disputes concerning investment and trade, antitrust, corporate governance, intellectual property protection, national security and corruption.
In the public sector, he has served as a senior White House economic official both at the President’s Council of Economic Advisers and as a lead U.S. international trade negotiator for the establishment of the WTO, the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), and NAFTA; a foreign investment national security regulator as a member of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS); the lead negotiator of U.S. international science and technology (S&T) agreements; serving on the board of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC); and as senior U.S. Senate committee professional staff member.

At the same time, he is a venerable practitioner dealing with the senior most government officials of many countries, including some of the toughest markets in the world, as well as engaging effectively—indeed proactively—with a wide variety of other stakeholders to help ensure sustained investment outcomes.
