Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Friday, January 30th, 2026

More than 75 business and student leaders gathered for the latest Global Atlanta Consular Conversations, a program designed to build relationships in advance — fostering collaboration, trust, and proactive engagement across borders.

Produced by Global Atlanta, presented by Miller & Martin, and cohosted by the Gwinnett Chamber and Partnership Gwinnett, the OTP installment also welcomed its newest conversation sponsor, Wannamaker Crimmigration Law.

Moderated by Trevor Williams, the discussion featured Rachel Galloway, Consul General of the United Kingdom in Atlanta. Galloway shared insights on the U.K.’s economic resilience, global trade posture, and Modern Industrial Strategy, highlighting strength in advanced manufacturing, life sciences, and technology where the U.K. ranks third globally in FDI. The Southeast U.S. emerged as a consistent region of opportunity, alongside enthusiasm for Atlanta’s role in the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
