Mr. Slavonic is the recipient of two Bronze Stars, the Legion of Merit Medal, Defense Medal for Outstanding Public Service and many other service and campaign medals and public service awards.
“As a fourth-generation Oklahoman, I am proud to stand up American Global Strategies’ newest office in the heart of my hometown of Oklahoma City,” said AGS Managing Partner Alexander Gray. “As AGS has expanded over the previous two years, the demand for our international expertise in traditionally underserved markets has surged. The addition of Attorney General O’Connor and Admiral Slavonic to our team will serve our clients, in Oklahoma and nationally, well in the years to come.”
“While much of our work at AGS has an international focus, we are pleased to represent exceptional companies across the United States,” said AGS Chairman Robert C.
