Our Mission


Financial services and technology firms deserve a strategic partner who can effectively advise and advocate for them on the international stage.

Highland Global Advisors is a policy, regulatory, and markets consulting firm founded to answer the increasingly urgent need for coherent, unified, genuinely global policy insight. It is led by Michael Pedroni, a financial regulation and global economic policy veteran with deep ties around the world.

While most policy advisory firms treat Washington, DC and Brussels as separate policy silos, the last decade has demonstrated that regulations developed at the Securities and Exchange Commission or the European Commission cross borders to impact how companies can operate globally.

Highland Global Advisors connects the dots, so that financial services and technology companies don’t make the mistake of integrating AI or ESG platforms that may be suitable in Europe but not the United States.

When guiding clients, Highland Global leverages relationships in the U.S., Europe, and Asia at central banks, Treasuries and finance ministries, regulatory agencies, global standard setters, and legislatures around the world.

Highland Global Advisors is headquartered in Washington, DC and active in Brussels, London and other regulatory and policymaking hubs.
