Continental Strategy[1] is adding muscle to its roster with the addition of Dr. George Bogden as Senior Counsel for Trade and Tariff Matters.
Bogden joins the firm after serving as Executive Director for the Office of Trade Relations at the Department of Homeland Security, where he played a central role in shaping and implementing the Trump administration’s trade and tariff policies.
Continental Strategy touts him as the only trade expert with direct knowledge and hands-on experience developing and implementing the administration’s America First trade policy, which will give the firm’s clients “an unrivalled insider perspective on the foundational design of tariff policies, trade enforcement priorities, and bilateral negotiation strategies.”
“George is quite simply the only trade expert with an understanding of how this Administration thinks about trade and tariffs as well as experience implementing those ideas,” said Continental Strategy President Carlos Trujillo.
“While other consultants can only speculate about policy directions, George was in the room where decisions were made. His appointment represents a transformational advantage for our clients navigating the new reality of America First trade policies.”
The hire was praised by Bogden’s colleagues at the Department of Homeland Security, including Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, who said he “has been integral to the execution of the President’s trade policies.”
She added, “… our loss is the private sector’s gain. The American People can be proud of his service and tenure at DHS.”
Bogden’s résumé includes clerking at the U.S. Court of International Trade under Judge Stephen Alexander Vaden, as well as fellowships at Columbia Law School, Bard College, the German Marshall Fund, the Trilateral Commission, and the Kennan Institute, where he developed expertise spanning legal, economic, and geopolitical dimensions of international trade.
He has also appeared frequently on Fox News, and his research and expert analysis were featured in leading publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, Newsweek, War on the Rocks, and The National Interest.
