Global advisory firm, DGA Group, has announced a planned leadership transition as the firm prepares for its next stage of growth.
Prem Kumar (pictured) has been appointed President, expanding his responsibilities across DGA’s global platform. He currently leads DGA’s Middle East & North Africa practice and serves on the firm’s Executive Committee. Before joining Albright Stonebridge Group in 2015, he served on the National Security Council at the White House, and with the U.S. State Department in Washington and abroad, after beginning his career at Morgan Stanley in New York.
This leadership appointment was made in preparation after Edward Reilly, who has been leading DGA since its founding in 2021 as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated his intention to retire as CEO in the first half of 2026. He will then serve as Non-Executive Chairman, remaining actively engaged in supporting the firm’s leadership and long-term strategy.
“Nearly five years since our founding, DGA has established a strong global platform and a proven model for helping clients navigate the intersection of policy, markets, and communications,” said Edward. “As we prepare for the firm’s next chapter, I have full confidence in our leadership team and in Prem’s ability to guide DGA’s continued success.”
Prem added, “I am honored to take on this expanded role and to work alongside Ed, our leadership team, and colleagues around the world as we build on DGA’s strong foundation. Our focus remains on delivering exceptional value to clients through our integrated, expert-led approach.”
