What We Do:

Client Testimonials:

Your work most definitely exceeded what was promised and it was evident that you are held in high regard by the EU economic development agencies with which we visited. It was an action packed week that has already generated a key visit to our region from one of our German counterparts in the next three weeks.
A regional economic development agency from Tennessee

I want to thank you for coordinating our recent trip to the Medica Trade Show, in Duesseldorf and the meetings in Liege. As I’ve come to expect, you delivered more than you promised, with thirty plus contacts instead of the eight you projected. Your knowledge and experience in Europe proved to be truly valuable to our team in its efforts to cultivate for our region. I would not hesitate to recommend Global Consulting to other regions interested in expanding connections between Europe and the U.S.

If you are looking for someone to do all the work for you, wave a magic wand Russ and GC are not for you. (And, anyone who promises this should be questioned.) If you are looking for a partner who will help you identify and meet contacts with REAL potential, then look no further.
A Welsh company CEO who set up the company’s first U.S. facility

"From 2001 to 2011, Russ had several contracts with our economic development agency in the framework of the Brand Image program of the Objective 2 of the ERDF and our Biolog Europe initiative. His remit was the identification of US prospect companies. (Unlike a number of other bidding consulting firms, who promised as many as 150 company prospect leads, Russ has always promised realistic numbers of company prospect leads. Agreed upon numbers were always exceeded.) Russ uncovered several excellent companies interested in a European facility. He also created very good contacts for us with economic development agencies in the US with which we’ve been able to share ideas or even to collaborate on actions towards companies in which both sides benefited. Russ also organized several missions to the US for me and my colleague. He understood the needs of the agency and was able to build a very interesting program each time, putting us in front of qualified companies. He also organized seminars: venue, program, audience. He visited trade shows in targeted industry sectors on our behalf or with us. As an example, in 2005, he contacted and gave basic information to 300 companies and we had the opportunity of meeting 66 of them on the occasion of a seminar or a trade show. Russ has a very good and varied network. He is very persistent in the follow-up of the companies and very good at designing a road map and at implementing it. Should funding once again become available for prospect company recruitment from the US, we would immediately contact Russ. I am at your disposal for any further information."

Russ understands how to find real prospects in America. The techniques he presented with real world examples were useful. I have already had success with his advice on how to find prospects during trade shows.

A regional economic development agency from Belgium

The training session to learn how to approach the US market was very useful for the investment promotion team since it covered all the stages of the relation with the companies, from informal networking to dealing with a lead or with a project...and things are so different compared to the way we do business in Europe! That's the real value, how clear and easy Russ makes things to help you get a better connection with North American companies.
A regional economic development agency from Spain

Russ, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for arranging the company prospect appointments this year at BIO Boston in June and the Farnborough Air Show in July. Of the companies with whom we visited, we feel that we have at least five good projects. We are working with them to set up in North Carolina and providing them with the information and research that they need. This number certainly exceeded my expectations. I look forward to working with you again in the near future.
A regional economic agency from North Carolina

Dear Russ, On behalf of the Board of Directors and the economic development team of the Northeast Tennessee Valley Regional Industrial Development Association, I want to thank you for your outstanding work on our recent European Union recruiting trip. The delegates were extremely pleased with the caliber of appointments and the due diligence you did in arranging and scheduling the trip. We were invited to several private events related to the Automechanika Trade Show in which your introductions were crucial for permission to meet with corporate representatives. Your work most definitely exceeded what was promised and it was evident that you are held in high regard by the EU economic development agencies with which we visited. It was an action packed week that has already generated a key visit to our region from one of our German counterparts in the next three weeks. This was easily our most productive trip of this type in a number of years and we look forward to working with you in the future. Alan Bridwell Executive Director

"Russ, I just wanted to pass along that I finally made it to Switzerland. The folks in Luzern and Geneva did a great job presenting Switzerland, and what their Cantons, in particular, have to offer. Thank you for making the initial introductions. Ray and I are fairly close to choosing a location and I will let you know when we do." Company CEO
U.S. based Aerospace, Defense and Intelligence company

It was a great pleasure to work with Russ!

Dear Russ, On behalf of Dunlop Aircraft Tyres Limited, Birmingham, UK, I would like to thank you for your assistance with the launch and take-off of our American project in 2014. Your understanding of the needs of a first-time British company setting up in America were invaluable in determining issues, such as locations to be visited, service companies (like lawyers), regional economic development agencies, available financial incentives and other matters outside my own and Dunlop’s broader experience. I personally appreciate your availability at virtually all times and the coaching I sometimes needed to understand the path to launch a major project on American soil. Any company interested in setting up or doing business in America would, I’m certain, similarly benefit from your experience in helping European companies and the sincere interest in your clients’ success in America. More particularly your understanding of business practice both in Western Europe and North America enables companies like Dunlop Aircraft to be guided efficiently through the maze of information that is projected at a potential client looking for a place in the USA to set up business –and choosing an optimum location. Sincerely, PRRobinson. Peter R. Robinson Project Manager Dunlop Aircraft Tyres Inc. - U.S. Project

Krista and I both would like to thank you for the excellent meetings that were scheduled on our behalf while we were in the UK. We thought that the caliber of companies met our expectations and most of them actually surpassed what we expected. We have 4-5 companies that plan to visit within the next 6-9 months. A couple of them need to visit sooner and we are working on that. Brenda Daniels Manager, Economic Development ElectriCities of N.C., Inc. 1427 Meadow Wood Boulevard Raleigh, NC 27604
UK Mission

On behalf of ElectriCities of North Carolina Inc., I want to thank you and Ian on the outstanding appointments and meetings that were set for our UK Mission trip. It was a great use of our time and energy to discuss why North Carolina is the ideal spot along the east coast for entering the US to do business. There is a very pragmatic approach to doing business in the USA. We were able to discuss the companies needs and match them up with the right partner and/or location. We look forward to working with you again in the future. Thanks! Brenda Daniels Manager, Economic Development ElectriCities of N.C., Inc. 1427 Meadow Wood Boulevard Raleigh, NC 27604

Russ Fronberger and Global Consulting did a fantastic job setting up appointments for the Upstate SC Alliance during my visit to the UK in April of 2018. Russ did a great job in organizing the entire trip, and all of the companies that we met with were high quality and were aligned with our target markets. Global Consulting exceeded my expectations. John Lummus, CEO Upstate SC Alliance

To whom it may concern: I have worked closely with Russ over the last couple of years and during that period he has given some excellent presentations at the workshops given to members of the Hertfordshire Chamber of Commerce, he is extremely knowledgeable and delivers valuable insights in an approachable and relaxed manner that immediately puts attendees at ease. It surprises me how many contacts he has not only in America but also Europe and beyond, these contacts have been invaluable in helping our members consider new operational bases overseas especially in light of the Brexit issues that may follow after the UK’s departure of the E.U. A major bonus has been the continual contact from Russ and the rest of his colleagues who have spoken at The Hertfordshire Chamber which has been maintained for many months after their initial meeting, and I’m sure their support will continue in the future.
