We bring innovation, energy and enthusiasm to translating the complex and ever-changing world of work policies into successful action and results for companies and clients.
We have served as a top employment, labor and trade expert for President Donald J. Trump (45) at the U.S. Department of Labor, creating innovative mechanisms that enhanced workforce development and trade and labor policies. Our goal is to assist in advancing American companies interests, while addressing workforce resilience.
We’re unique in that we talk about PSA (prosperity, security and accountability) over ESG (environment, social and governance). We know how to execute in an America First policy framework, while managing global due diligence.
