Gottfried International, Inc. provides management consulting, project development, and real estate expertise to support clients' interests in energy, agriculture, health care, space technology, and real estate development in U.S. and global markets. We developed the first hyperspectral imaging satellite for the energy industry providing for space based hydrocarbon exploration; this system was one of the first commercial payloads approved for the International Space Station. We recruited management teams for several of the first commercial space technology and agricultural biotechnology companies and we formed the first U.S.-Kazakhstan agriculture joint venture during the collapse of the Soviet Union. Our real estate team supports clients in Texas, Washington, D.C., Europe, and the Middle East.
- Our experience in energy markets began when Bill Gottfried started his career as a U.S. Naval Officer in the Middle East managing petroleum shipments in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran, and Yemen. During the collapse of the Soviet Union, Bill joined the first U.S. Department of Energy Trade Missions sent to Russia and Central Asia to develop investment cooperation with the new independent republics. He raised capital and recruited management teams for several of the first energy joint ventures in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan.
