Carter Page is an American petroleum industry consultant who was the foreign-policy advisor to Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election campaign. He became known to people for not-so-pleasant reasons after his name came up in the investigation of Russian interference in the elections. Page had a dream start to his career. He was the beneficiary of the ‘Trident Scholar Program,’ owing to his academic record at the ‘United States Naval Academy,’ Annapolis. He graduated with flying colors and enlisted in the ‘United States Navy.’ After leaving the navy in 1998, he worked with ‘Merrill Lynch’ as an investment banker in London, Moscow, and New York. He left ‘Merrill Lynch’ while serving as the chief operating officer of the ‘Energy and Power Group.’ He founded ‘Global Energy Capital,’ a consulting firm for energy and power companies, and is its only employee, working from a co-working space in New York.
