Headquartered in Washington, D.C., AKDC CONSULTANTS L.L.C. is an independent consultancy with more than 15 years of issue advocacy experience.

Our scope goes beyond our name. From Alaska to D.C. and around the world, we deliver top-notch public policy campaigns to turn client goals into legislative success.

Thanks to an unique upbringing in Alaska, years of experience in D.C. and multiple advocacy projects overseas, I understand the stakes of successfully navigating local governments, U.S. Congress, a new presidential administration and foreign authorities. I draw from a broad array of perspectives to expertly engage government regulators, the media, and other stakeholders, while employing a robust network of specialized contacts worldwide.

I have built several, multi-faceted coalitions to promote the value of new health technology, international trade and intellectual property to policymakers in the Americas, Europe, and Japan. This work employed compelling communications materials, public opinion polling, and events to support favorable policy change and mitigate negative proposals in the United States, foreign markets and multilateral forums. 

AKDC’s current client focuses include U.S tax policy, healthcare, and defense and industrial optical systems.

AKDC’s current project partners include a communications team and lobbying firms in Washington, D.C., a political consultant in California, an international marketing company, a public affairs firm in Germany, and a lobbyist in Brussels.

With this broad experience and many diverse project partners I will build bespoke campaigns and coalitions to meet your political needs and create the right dynamics for policy change.
