GLG 格理集团

We are the experts in expertise – the largest, most trusted network in the industry we created more than 25 years ago. A lot has changed since then, but one thing hasn’t. Investors, consultants, and decision-makers across industries still rely on GLG to help them deploy capital, assess potential opportunities, and reduce their risk. In New York, Austin, and London, leaders from around the business?shared a vision for the future. One that puts a premium on trust and human intelligence, while meeting the expectations of speed and capability shared by our clients and experts. We announced meaningful investments?in?tools and technology that will?expand our offerings,?accelerate our clients' research, and empower our teams to deliver faster, more precise matches. And we asked some?of our most successful GLGers to share?their experiences taking on new roles and opportunities as well as their?proudest moments at the company and the projects that changed how they think about client service. We also heard from hospitality veterans?Richard Coraine?and?Patti Simpson?of?Union Square Hospitality Group, endurance athlete?Robyn Benincasa, and sports psychologist?Jamil Qureshi?on what it means to go above and beyond for your customers and lessons of high-performing teams. Each drew from their very different careers to shed light on reaching your individual and collective potential. In moments of increased uncertainty, our clients need access to critical insights from leading experts more than ever, and GLG has never been more ready or excited to do just this. Thank you to all our speakers for reminding us what makes?delivering for clients so rewarding?and?why GLG is such a great place to launch your career. Speakers pictured include GLG CEO?Gemma Postlethwaite,?Global Head of Financial Services?Sam McBride-Wright, Global Head of Professional Service Firms?Jennifer Manning, Chief Strategy Officer?Cameron Foster, and Chief Product Officer?John Londono.

Proud of this team. Great joining so many GLG colleagues in London, Austin, and New York this month to learn from one another about going above and beyond for our customers and the projects that changed how we think about client service. At GLG, we’ve spent years helping investment professionals get answers to questions they didn’t even know to ask. We pride ourselves on being an essential part of their workflow, and our ability to adapt, adjust, and anticipate the needs of our clients. Time and again, colleagues who’ve been with us for years end up staying with their clients through promotions, job changes, and relocations, growing alongside one another together well into their careers. We’ve made significant investment in new tools to empower our teams to deliver faster, more precise matches. Technology enables us, but our client service teams make us who we are. I’m a big believer that how you serve is often as important as what you serve. A theme we kept coming back to in our discussions, echoed by our great speakers – hospitality executives Richard Coraine and Patti Simpson. Thank you for your inspiring words that touched on the heart of what we do. Thank you to all the GLGers who joined us and to Gemma, Jennifer, Cameron, Lee, Eu-Gene and John for your ongoing partnership and leadership.

Happy SXSW to all who celebrate! ?? We had a great time hosting GLG experts for breakfast in our Austin office. It’s always so special to gather in person. ? A few takeaways from our conversations: ? - GLG experts really do love talking to our clients. They also look forward to connecting with one another. We’re committed to bringing our experts together more in person in the year ahead. ? - There’s a ton of excitement for the new digital experience we’ve been working on for our experts. (More on that later!) ? - When in doubt, order more breakfast tacos. If you’re thinking 200, think more. ? A HUGE thank you to everybody who was able to come by. If you’re interested in learning more about becoming a GLG expert, please reach out to me.?

GLG?has called Sydney home for more than 15 years. ? Our presence in Australia’s premier city has long put GLG teams closer to the clients and experts we work with every day.? ? I had the pleasure of meeting several key clients in Sydney. It was clear from our conversations just how much end-to-end service with local presence matters as well as the value of GLG experts in times of elevated uncertainty. ? Also heard from our Sydney-based experts, many of whom have shared their knowledge with us for years including what it means to be a GLG expert firsthand. I previewed the tools we’re rolling out later this year that will make their experience even better. We'll bring our experts together to connect and hear from one another in more cities in the coming months. Stay tuned. ? Finally, I was impressed by the dedication of our local client service teams who make the matches, recruit timely new experts, and keep our clients one step ahead. It was great to join ANZ Head?Gerald Ferguson?to celebrate the team’s continued success and thank him for his ongoing leadership. ? Asia Pacific remains a critical part of GLG’s strategy and we continue to hire client service professionals across the region. We are committed to deepening our relationships and delivering the best experience possible for our experts and clients.

I was catching up with a client friend about a trend we've seen at GLG over the past few months. She wanted to know how other clients have been using us in a time of?such uncertainty.?? I’ve been with GLG a LONG time (16 years!). And in that time I’ve seen a lot working with our corporate client base.?Calls have long been a favorite among strategy and biz dev leaders.?But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. I told her more and more people are turning to us for things like message testing, product marketing, and market surveys. Increasingly, clients want quantitative and qualitive answers to fill their biggest knowledge gaps. 1.?A big tech company used GLG to survey 1,000 IT decision makers on their willingness to pay for additional services beyond their current software agreements.?The results helped the client set the best price and cadence to maximize revenue for their new product.? ? 2. A biotech leader wanted to message test a new therapy they were bringing to market. We created a discussion board for pharmacists and healthcare professionals to weigh in.? ? 3. We helped another biotech firm determine pricing for their new DNA probe device by surveying lab managers and directors specializing in clinical and therapeutic research.? ? 4. A construction software company used us?to validate their existing tech stack and better understand similar software spend from other commercial real-estate developers. All to say, clients are leveraging GLG experts in new and unexpected ways. We have incredible panels of niche populations that can course correct strategy and drive sales for new products before they come to market.?During uncertain times, staying informed is your best defense. ? That’s why we’re here, I reminded her. And that’s why I’m STILL here. ??

Excited to share our newly expanded Dubai office! ??

"What they did is an absolute plus, in my opinion." –William Fong, former Director of AI Digital Transformation at Microsoft, on DeepSeek's 'mixture-of-experts' model. We asked Dr. Fong about the advantages of the artificial intelligence breakthrough known as R1. "You can do a lot with a lot less," he told us, "you may not need to spend $50,000 for a Blackwell chip. You might use an older GPU to do the same job." https://lnkd.in/gQSbXExi
