What Monarch Global Strategies does

Monarch Global Strategies is a privately held, binational business advisory firm headquartered in Washington, D.C., with offices in Los Angeles, Mexico City, Monterrey, and Guadalajara. Founded in 2017 as an independent spin-off of ManattJones Global Strategies, the firm provides senior corporate executives with government relations, market entry and site location support, supply chain sourcing and vetting, strategic advice on international trade (including USMCA), business development support, and political and economic risk analysis. Its core focus is helping Fortune 500 and mid-cap companies enter, expand within, or optimize operations across Mexico and North America.

The firm operates a purely professional services model with no proprietary technology products, APIs, or software offerings. Its "technology" is its people: a binational, bicultural, biliterate team of approximately a dozen named senior professionals anchored by former U.S. Ambassador to Mexico James R. Jones (Chairman) and former Assistant Secretary of Commerce Michael C. Camuñéz (President and CEO), supported by senior advisors with deep experience in Mexican federal government, finance, energy, and law. The firm covers six industry verticals: Energy, Financial Services, Healthcare, Infrastructure, Manufacturing & Supply Chain, and Tech, Media & Telecom.

Monarch generates revenue through professional advisory and consulting fees on a quote-based, engagement-by-engagement model tailored to client scope. Distribution is direct, relationship-driven enterprise field sales to C-suite and board-level buyers, supplemented by a content-marketing program (newsletter, blog, thought leadership media placements) and a January 2026 strategic alliance with Maxis Advisors that extends the firm's reach into site selection and real estate advisory for nearshoring engagements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Eurasia Group: Eurasia Group is a leading geopolitical risk advisory firm that advises corporations and investors on political risk across markets, with a strong Mexico practice previously led by Monarch Senior Advisor Pamela K. Starr. Highly comparable in product, client base (Fortune 500), and binational/cross-border advisory model.
• Control Risks: Control Risks is a global specialist risk consultancy providing political, security, and integrity risk advice to multinationals operating in emerging markets including Mexico. Directly comparable to Monarch's Risk Analysis & Strategic Planning offering, particularly for clients expanding into Mexico.
• The Cohen Group: The Cohen Group is a strategic advisory firm led by former Secretary of Defense William Cohen, providing government-relations and cross-border business advisory to global corporations. Highly comparable in business model (former senior officials monetizing policy expertise for enterprise clients) and cross-border market entry focus.
• FTI Consulting: FTI Consulting's Strategic Communications and Public Affairs segments provide cross-border advisory, government-relations, and political risk services to corporations and investors. Comparable in serving Fortune 500 clients navigating regulatory and political complexity in Latin America, with substantially broader scale and capabilities.
• Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP: Manatt Phelps & Phillips is the parent of Monarch's predecessor firm (ManattJones Global Strategies) and continues to operate a government-relations and policy advisory practice. Directly comparable in cross-border U.S.-Mexico advisory niche and shares historical roots with Monarch.
• Dentons Global Advisors (Albright Stonebridge Group): Dentons Global Advisors, formed from the merger of Albright Stonebridge Group and Dentons' advisory arm, provides geopolitical and commercial advisory with deep Latin America coverage from former senior U.S. and foreign government officials. Directly comparable in serving Fortune 500 clients seeking cross-border political and market-entry guidance.

Broad incumbents

• Kearney: Kearney (formerly A.T. Kearney) operates a strong manufacturing and supply-chain strategy practice with deep nearshoring and Mexico operations experience. Comparable to Monarch's Supply Chain Sourcing & Vetting and Site Location offerings for industrial clients evaluating Mexico manufacturing footprints.
• McKinsey & Company (Mexico): McKinsey's Mexico office serves global MNCs on market-entry, supply chain, and operations strategy relevant to nearshoring. While serving adjacent needs (corporate strategy, operations) with a much larger team and brand, McKinsey overlaps with Monarch's enterprise Fortune 500 client base for high-level strategic engagements.
• Deloitte Mexico: Deloitte's Mexico practice offers strategy, M&A, and government-relations advisory to multinational corporations entering or expanding in Mexico. While much broader in scope, Deloitte competes for the same Fortune 500 nearshoring mandates as Monarch and benefits from greater scale and broader service capabilities.

Regional players

• Holland & Knight (Latin America Practice): Holland & Knight maintains a sizable Latin America cross-border practice advising U.S. and Latin American clients on cross-border investment, government relations, and regulatory matters, particularly between the U.S. and Mexico.
