About Geert Criel
After 32 years as a diplomat with the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I moved to Los Angeles and started cooperating with Pasadena Private Financial Group, a financial services company in the Los Angeles area that tailors to the financial needs of business owners and their families; and Druven Advocacy, a public affairs advisory firm that partners with private organizations and coalitions. These challenges build on my understanding of international business issues and my experience in the banking sector in Belgium and Italy. In my diplomatic career, I earned a reputation for delivering results under high visibility and public scrutiny, forging strong relationships with government entities, private companies, community organizations, and other key stakeholders.
