 Singapore, 24-Aug-26: Strategic Advisory Boutique Global Growth Markets Expands Into the Americas and Strengthens Capabilities Through Integration With Local Origins

Thomas Rideg, Global Growth Markets' new Managing Director, Americas  

Global Growth Markets (GGM), a strategic research and advisory consultancy operating in EMEA and APAC, has announced its expansion into the Americas through a partnership and integration with the North America based business consulting firm Local Origins. The move strengthens GGM’s geographical footprint, while significantly enhancing its client service scope in the US, and its operational scope in Latin America, as well as its advisory and local operational support capabilities.

This integration brings together decades of international go-to-market, market expansion and investment consulting expertise across the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Middle East & Africa. Both firms share a long-standing foundation: Their founders previously served together on the management team of the market intelligence and consulting firm Global Intelligence Alliance (now Valona Intelligence), where they built and scaled advisory capabilities and operations across all the major world regions.

“We’ve been giving companies the confidence to make better business decisions and succeed in their global growth ambitions for over two decades, particularly across Asia and the Middle East and Africa,” said Pete Read, CEO of Global Growth Markets. “Over the past 18 months, we’ve worked closely with Local Origins on major projects for multinational clients. Formalising this relationship strengthens our presence in the Americas and adds meaningful growth and operations advisory depth to our capabilities.”

Tom Rideg, Founder of Local Origins, said “Local Origins, which is now known as Global Growth Markets of course, was launched just 18 months ago, and this integration further lifts our success trajectory. Beyond consulting project engagements, we are also retained by leadership teams as growth advisors, supporting long-term market expansion, revenue acceleration and cross-border strategy execution. Bringing that model into GGM strengthens our global ability to serve clients as a strategic partner.”

The combined GGM operations will now deliver a more globally integrated advisory service, combining strategic insight, market and competitive intelligence, investment consulting and hands-on local market representation across continents.
