WASHINGTON and CHICAGO, Feb. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Kearney's Global Business Policy Council (GBPC) announced today the appointment of Per Hong as senior fellow.

A senior partner based in Kearney's Minneapolis office, Per brings with him more than 20 years of experience advising companies across the United States, Europe, and Russia in a range of industries, focusing on consumer products, life sciences and healthcare, and industrials.
