Over twenty five years of public policy experience in Ottawa--on both sides of the table--initially as a political staffer to cabinet ministers in three different portfolios, then in the public affairs world in roles of increasing seniority as a consultant at a boutique GR firm, a trade association executive, a partner and practice lead at a global consulting firm, and now founder of my own firm. GR really isn't about who you know. It's about understanding how to position your desired outcome in the policy marketplace by knowing what works and what doesn't. I've been a career-long student of policy decision making processes at the federal level: cabinet, regulatory, and legislative. I can help you understand how government makes decisions so you can avoid lost causes and wasted budgets, and deliver results for your organization.Specialties: regulatory policy, risk communications, legislative process, budget 'asks'
