About
Experience that bridges government and business.
Summit Advisory Group was established to provide clients with practical, commercially focused advice at the intersection of public policy, geopolitics and regulation.
The firm combines more than fifteen years of experience in diplomacy, international trade, public policy and statutory decision-making with a deep understanding of how governments operate across the Asia-Pacific.
Our work helps clients:
- anticipate policy and regulatory change
- understand political and geopolitical developments
- navigate market access challenges
- develop effective government engagement strategies
- manage regulatory and reputational risk
We believe good advice should be practical, independent and grounded in real-world experience.
