Transatlantic Leadership Network

What Transatlantic Leadership Network does

Transatlantic Leadership Network (TLN) is a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit think tank founded in 2018 that conducts research, publications, and convening programs on transatlantic relations and international security. It operates primarily as a track-II diplomacy platform, organizing virtual and in-person events, webinars, and high-level dialogues that bring together current and former government officials, diplomats, and policy experts from the United States, Europe, and the Mediterranean region. Its named initiatives cover the Atlantic Basin, climate/energy/security, freedom of the media, the future of transatlantic relations, the Mediterranean/Middle East/Gulf, and Russia/Ukraine/European security.

TLN's core deliverable is a publication and convening portfolio rather than a technology platform. Flagship outputs include the annual Transatlantic Economy survey (co-produced with Johns Hopkins SAIS and AmCham EU), the Eastern Mediterranean Energy Quarterly, Weekly Briefs newsletters, a stream of policy reports and books, and projects such as Mediterranean Energy Markets 2030 and Beyond. Senior fellows including Daniel S. Hamilton (President), Dr. Sasha Toperich (Senior EVP), Ambassador John B. Craig, and Dr. Roudi Baroudi contribute commentary to outlets such as Brookings, Foreign Policy, the Financial Times, Le Monde, and Al Jazeera. Books are distributed through Eurospan and Brookings Institution Press, while the broader work is conducted in partnership with Wilson Center, Harvard Weatherhead Center, Johns Hopkins SAIS, PISM, and AmCham EU.

TLN's business model is donation-supported; the organization runs a Support page and accepts contributions through its website, and it does not sell commercial products or services. Revenue signals are not publicly disclosed, and there are no recorded equity funding rounds, M&A activity, or government contracts in the source material. Its customers in the marketing-segment sense are policymakers, think tank/academic communities, and US-EU policy stakeholders who consume its research, attend its events, and amplify its commentary.
