Dana M. Marshall is founder (in 2012) and president of Transnational Strategy Group (TSG). He has over four decades of experience in international business, energy, commercial, financial, foreign policy and national security issue areas, derived from positions in the private sector and government service.

In the private sector, prior to founding TSG, Mr. Marshall served for 12 years as senior advisor and consultant for international business and foreign policy to several U.S.-based international law firms. His clients included firms in the energy, insurance, high technology and other sectors.

Prior to his private sector career, Mr. Marshall served in increasingly responsible positions as a career official in the U.S. government, notably as senior advisor for international economic and energy issues in the George H.W. Bush and Clinton White Houses as well as positions in the Departments of State and Commerce; office of the U.S. Trade Representative; and at several embassies abroad in Latin America, Australia and Europe. His last overseas position was at the U.S. Mission to the European Union, stationed in Brussels. He has also served as State Department fellow in offices in both chambers of the U.S. Congress and was instrumental in passage of several amendments involving third-world debt and export promotion in a landmark trade bill.
