GBRW Consulting GLOBAL EXPERIENCE, PRACTICAL EXPERTISE

History

GBRW was established in London in 1995 by four senior commercial and investment bankers including current Managing Director Paul Rex. GBRW's aim has always been to provide emerging market clients with the same standard of high quality, specialised consulting on financial services and enterprise development, as would be expected in developed markets. Furthermore, we want to connect the banking, government, investment, and economic development sectors with industry best-practice, and to help develop and implement practical interventions and outcomes for emerging markets. The GBRW team has since grown to encompass nine principals, who are all senior consulting professionals with a background as commercial, investment, or development bankers. In addition to our London headquarters, we operate through subsidiary offices in Washington DC and Singapore.
