Robert Agostinelli, Co-Founder of Rhône Group, said: “We are delighted to welcome John back to the Firm where he has delivered incredible value as an adviser in the past. With the current unpredictable nature of geopolitics and its ability to disrupt the global economy we think our Firm and our investors will benefit immensely from John’s vast experience working in the international political arena.”

Ambassador John Bolton served as National Security Advisor to President Trump, having previously served in the Reagan administration and George H.W. Bush administration in several roles in the State and Justice Departments. He also served in the George W. Bush administration as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.
