ManaginG Director
Tanya Hoke
I founded Belem Group in 2013 and have been a professional investigator for more than 15 years. I love the difficult work of digging up hidden information, untangling fraud schemes, and bringing nuance, context, and clarity to ambiguous situations. The thrill of finding the facts that others haven’t simply doesn’t get old.
I have extensive experience leading investigations for clients in connection with investments and litigation. In 2016, I established Galen Diligence, one of the first practices in the US focused on integrity investigations in the legal cannabis industry. I have led investigations across industries and geographies, from the US to China and from tech to pharmaceuticals. Prior to founding Belem Group, I was a Senior Consultant in Corporate Investigations at Control Risks Group.
Away from my desk, you’ll find me mucking around with watercolors, skiing, and spending time with my husband and daughter in the mountains of Colorado.
