What Global Atlantic Partners does

Global Atlantic Partners LLC is a privately held financial consulting and outsourcing firm founded in 2002 and headquartered at 32 Mercer Street, New York, with a wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Atlantic Partners do Brasil DB, extending delivery along the South Atlantic coast. The firm serves banks, financial institutions, and corporate boards across more than 15 countries, delivering services through five core practice areas: Risk Management and Governance, Cybersecurity and Fraud Investigation, Sustainability Consulting, Emerging Technologies Advisory, and Executive Training, supported by a Knowledge Transfer Center that runs e-Learning seminars, customized workshops, Board of Directors programs, and whitepapers.

Service modules include internal audit, bank compliance (federal/state regulation, BSA/AML), fraud and forensic services with expert witness capability, and business process consulting. The firm's differentiator is the integration of emerging technology advisory (AI, blockchain, token equity standards) with traditional risk and compliance work, reinforced by a partner ecosystem with KALYP, Samso, and the Token Equity Standards Association. Leadership comprises Managing Partner Erich Schumann (CIA, CFE, CRISC, CRMA; adjunct professor at Brandeis; Vice-Chairman of the IIA's Internal Auditing Standards Board Professional Issues Committee) and VP of Strategy and Business Development Isabella Felipa Schumann (NYU Stern MBA with prior PE/VC and investigative consulting experience).

Revenue is generated exclusively through professional services: retained consulting engagements and project-based work for enterprise clients in banking and adjacent regulated industries. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the GTM is sales-led, direct, and enterprise-focused, with pipeline development through content marketing, LinkedIn presence, case studies, and the Knowledge Transfer Center's educational programming. The firm operates independently with no disclosed external investors, parent entity, or public funding.
