Who We Are

We Know Diplomacy

Founded in 1998 by Thomas F. “Mack” McLarty, III, former Chief of Staff to President Clinton, and Nelson Cunningham, McLarty Associates was established to leverage diplomatic and policy expertise to help leaders in the private and non-profit sectors seize opportunities and make informed decisions in global markets. This vision led to the creation of a pioneering commercial diplomacy firm. In 2022, we joined forces with Ankura Consulting, enhancing our capacity to offer comprehensive strategic advisory solutions. Today, under Ambassador Lee Feinstein’s leadership, we remain committed to empowering clients with insights and solutions to navigate policy, regulatory, government, and diplomatic challenges worldwide.
