Navigating uncertainty with strategic government affairs leadership

Today’s geopolitical volatility, shifting regulations, and evolving competitive landscapes have redefined the role of government affairs. No longer a defensive, keep-us-out-of-the-headlines function, they must now act as strategic advisors to the C-suite, driving influence through advocacy, PACs, and innovative digital tools. The most effective leaders bring cross-sector experience, a future-focused mindset, and the ability to turn government affairs into a revenue generator—whether by opening markets, securing fiscal advantages, or shaping favorable policy. Finding, developing, and retaining these leaders is essential.

That’s where we come in. With over 70 years of experience identifying, placing, and developing top-tier executives in corporate, association, and government roles, we connect clients with leaders who understand both policy and politics. Government affairs is a relationship-driven field, and our global collaborative approach ensures you get the right leader at the right time—someone who can craft compelling strategies and drive results now and into the future.

Clients choose us because we prioritize relationships—treating clients and candidates with respect throughout the process. It’s how we build trust, deliver impact, and grow together to face whatever comes next.

Government and corporate affairs focus: Finding leaders who can effectively manage political and regulatory risk

Addressing the shifting government landscape is a strategic imperative today. Our work with US and global companies suggests a comprehensive menu of options and some questions companies can use to navigate them, whether they are just starting out or already have a foundation to build on.

Strategic government affairs: It's about leadership

Ambiguity, complexity, fluidity – these are conditions that government affairs professionals have always faced in their work. But with nearly three decades of deregulation having come to an end and an upsurge of new regulation now well underway, those conditions have greatly intensified.
