Prominent Georgian politician finally leaves politics to join U.S. company

Irakli Alasania, former leader of the Free Democrats part, ex-Defense Minister and Georgia’s Envoy to UN, has become the senior partner to the U.S.-based SPConsulting Company. Former politician stated about that in the TV-interview.

SPConsulting is a global consulting company operating in 50 countries worldwide. As it is pointed out on the company’s website, its clients include both large multi-national companies and smaller, fast growing firms working in industries such as automotive, technology, financial services and pharmaceuticals.

The senior partners’ function is to develop and implement accurately customized business solutions to the company clients.

Irakli Alasania voiced his decision to leave politics following the parliamentary elections in October last year, when his-led Free Democrats party failed to overcome a 5% threshold and was left without the MP mandates.

There is still a lack of true political parties in Georgia and there are no signs of their appearance either. Analysis by Ghia Nodia for JAMnews.
