The Gerson Lehrman Group Councils are industry-focused networks of executives, physicians, scientists, engineers, attorneys, market researchers and other professionals from around the world. Members of the GLG Councils are compensated for consulting with global business and investment leaders on topics within their area of expertise. The GLG Councils are managed by Gerson Lehrman Group, an independent research firm serving institutional investors and business leaders. GLG was founded in 1998 by three gentlemen who were previously working in investment, consulting and journalism and who thought that research could be made far more effective. They began their business by publishing several industry guidebooks. When trying to sell the books to global mutual funds and hedge funds, the three discovered that rather than read their guides, institutional investors were more interested in speaking with the industry expert contributors. Speaking directly to hard-to-find experts allowed investors a private interaction that could be tailored to their particular questions. Thus was born Gerson Lehrman Group and its global network of industry professionals and experts--the Gerson Lehrman Group Councils. Today, GLG provides research to its clients not by writing reports but by compensating over 100,000 expert members of the GLG Councils to consult with GLG clients over the phone, in person, or via online surveys. GLG has offices in New York; Boston; Washington, DC; Chicago; Los Angeles; San Francisco; London; Sydney; Delhi; Shanghai, and Hong Kong. Launched in 2004, GLG’s Asian operations consist of actively finding and managing the best experts for our clients across Asia, Europe and North America. Council Members provide their industry knowledge through telephone consultations, online surveys and scheduled in-person meetings.
