- Impactful Government Relations
I have proven success when engaging with government officials on behalf of clients, whether in bilateral dialog settings or when advocating to advance their commercial interests.
Both require discretion, adhering to government and corporate talking points, and keeping an eye on the need for a win-win outcome.
US–Romanian
Agreement on Nuclear Power
Commercial diplomacy plays a vital role in transitioning the world’s energy sources to renewables. Taking a lead role within the European Union, Romania has readily adopted EU-mandated renewable energy guidelines, supporting industry and government’s push to convert coal-based energy generation to small-modular nuclear reactors.
My role in support of the US–Romania Intergovernmental Agreement on Nuclear Power helped to advance adoption by the government of this US technology, thereby rebuffing other nation’s providers while ensuring energy autonomy in the face of geopolitical pressures.

Winning Public Security
Infrastructure Tenders
Advocacy on behalf of US companies in pursuit of foreign government tenders plays a large role in successful global expansion. My first-hand experience interacting with host government ministerial leaders on behalf of American manufacturers and technology companies gained the upper edge in our trading relationships with partner nations.
A US-based provider of specialty aircraft for emergency service providers faced cash flow constraints due to an unexpected deadline extension for a public tender by the host nation’s ministry, thereby risking loss of supplier input and increased costs.
I teamed with the provider and their US state officials to forestall late-delivery penalties and identify bridge financing, simultaneously negotiating in person with ministry officials. The company persevered—its products were successfully delivered and are now in use by the host nation’s rescue and emergency transport agency.
