Policy & Governance
Developing frameworks for agency structure and accountability. I assist in drafting policy recommendations that translate advocacy goals into actionable administrative rules.
Strategic Counsel for Infrastructure Governance.
I advise on the intersection of public mandate and operational reality. My work focuses on navigating the complex regulatory and political frameworks that govern major transit systems.
Methodology
Structural Analysis
Effective oversight demands a forensic understanding of agency mechanics. I evaluate infrastructure governance by analyzing the gap between statutory requirements and administrative performance.
This approach is currently applied through my role at The City Club of New York, where I facilitate independent reviews of capital program delivery and federal funding compliance.
Core Competencies
Operational Feasibility
Assessing the viability of capital proposals. I work with technical teams to stress-test project assumptions against service planning constraints.
Strategic Communications
Utilizing public records and administrative law to support evidence-based narratives. I help organizations build verifiable, document-driven cases for reform.
