Bio
Henrik Arnestad Salthe
I have worked with George several times over my career in H+K. I've come to know him as a great client advisor with both integrity and a strong strategic eye, as well as a good colleague for both me and the teams he has managed. It's been a privilege to work alongside George, and I really hope we get the opportunity to work together again. George has my warmest recommendations.
Randy Ford
George's understanding of, passion for, and insight into foreign relations and national security policy are unparalleled. I had the opportunity to work alongside George as a peer and then as his direct manager for then -U.S. Representative John Tanner, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and President of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. Given the Congressman's leadership position in foreign policy, George's work was especially important, and his excellence in the role made him a trusted advisor on our team but also a respected go-to across Capitol Hill. A daily brief he assembled on national security events and policy developments, for example, became a valuable resource not only to Congressman Tanner but to other Members of Congress and congressional staff. I'm honored to recommend George for his ability to grasp foreign affairs and national security issues as quickly and ably as anyone I have had the opportunity to work with, and for the knowledge and ability he possesses that allow him to share information and recommendations in those policy areas with anyone with whom he works, including those at the most senior levels of government.

George was a Congressional Fellow in the selective PSA Congressional Fellowship Program designed to bring together accomplished congressional foreign policy aides from both sides of the aisle. As the Program Manager of the Fellowship, I saw George's excellent ability to reach out to those with differing views and form productive working relationships, as well as his deep knowledge of foreign policy and national security subjects. The Fellowship was greatly benefited from his participation.
