NEW YORK, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Consello, the leading global advisory and investing platform, today announced the expansion of its presence in Europe with the opening of a Brussels office.

The office will be led by Ruud Wassen, who brings more than two decades of experience advising CEOs, boards and senior leadership teams of multinational companies on EU and international corporate and public affairs.

I have known and worked with Ruud for many years, and he is an outstanding leader who will help us expand our pan european presence in the years ahead".

Ruud Wassen added, "I am thrilled to join Consello and establish our presence in Brussels at a time when policy, regulatory risk, and geopolitical disruption are increasingly shaping the CEO agenda.
