Posted on September 8th, 2025 | Filed under Press Releases

SEATTLE and WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Former U.S. Ambassador and business leader Roger Nyhus today launched AMBO Strategy, a bespoke global consulting firm focused on helping CEOs and other senior executives navigate high-stakes issues and solve complex problems.

“With today’s global uncertainty and heightened reputation risk, CEOs want seasoned, candid and trusted guidance”

AMBO will serve as a trusted adviser to global CEOs and leaders who want to cut through chaos, elevate strategy and simplify their decision making to get big things accomplished.

With offices in both Seattle, one of the world’s leading technology centers, and Washington, D.C., AMBO is an exclusive bicoastal firm that helps the world’s most discerning brands navigate geopolitical and other challenges, develop bold strategies, manage crises, leverage commercial opportunities, cultivate influence to advance their priorities, drive change, and accelerate business growth.

“With today’s global uncertainty and heightened reputation risk, CEOs want seasoned, candid and trusted guidance. AMBO’s discreet and independent counsel empowers CEOs and their senior teams to lead with clarity and confidence,” said Nyhus, who served as U.S. Ambassador to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean from 2023-2025.

AMBO specializes in reputation and crisis management, strategic communications, public affairs, and international trade and commerce.

AMBO is exclusive, serving only a select number of clients at any time to ensure focus, deep connections and trusted relationships with CEOs and other key decision makers. Supported by an elite team and AMBO’s global ambassador network, Nyhus will personally oversee and engage each client to develop and deliver tailored strategies and results.

To provide timely and relevant counsel in a rapidly changing world, AMBO is assembling a dynamic network of former U.S., Canadian, U.K. and European Union ambassadors – called the AMBO Network. The ambassadors, who served globally, will advise AMBO’s CEOs and provide creative and effective strategies at the intersection of business and diplomacy.

“AMBO will mobilize our worldwide network of business and policy leaders – including former ambassadors and CEOs – harnessing their deep experience and powerful connections to deliver unmatched value for our CEOs and their organizations,” said Nyhus, AMBO CEO and founder.

In addition to CEOs, the firm partners with C-suites, boards, family offices, nonprofits, and pioneering government and philanthropic leaders. AMBO complements and partners with in-house teams, allowing them to focus on day-to-day priorities.

What is a high-stakes issue? Most recently as ambassador, Nyhus secured nearly $1 billion in potential financing for the Eastern Caribbean to provide unprecedented access to needed business capital – an historic accomplishment – through his partnership with the Export-Import Bank of the United States. Nyhus also led his embassy’s multi-agency response to the most powerful hurricane on record to hit the region, securing millions of dollars in immediate relief. As a consultant, Nyhus led a highly successful multiyear ground game for a top five national airline to fend off a well-funded and aggressive competitor. He also represented a tech billionaire’s global private investments for nearly a decade. Nyhus has managed numerous high-profile crises, CEO transitions, acquisitions and mergers.
