CHICAGO - Sept. 15, 2021 - PRLog -- Samson Atlantic LLC is extremely honored to announce that Ambassador (ret.) Ian Kelly has joined our Advisory Board. Ambassador Kelly served as the United States Ambassador to Georgia from 2015 to 2018 and served as the U.S. Ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) from 2010 to 2013. Prior to these ambassadorships, Ambassador Kelly held a variety of high-level positions at the U.S. State Department, including serving as Secretary Clinton's spokesman (2009-2010). He has extensive experience working on issues relating to NATO, Russia, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and the Balkans. "Ambassador Kelly has a keen understanding of international relations.

Before beginning his career at the State Department, Ambassador Kelly taught at Columbia University in Slavic Languages and Literatures. After joining the Foreign Service, he served in a variety of positions, including in Belgrade, Leningrad, Moscow, Ankara, Rome and the U.S. Mission to NATO in Brussels.
