WASHINGTON, April 25, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Lon Goldstein, President, and Maryam Cope, Managing Partner, announced the official launch of their firm, GoldsteinCope Policy Solutions LLC (GPS). GPS serves as a strategic partner in Washington to the technology, financial services, telecommunications and travel sectors offering a modern approach to public policy consulting that will help their clients succeed in business.

GPS provides a fresh approach to government affairs by anticipating the challenges and opportunities of the impact of a shifting economy and the rapid evolution of technology over the past two decades. The new firm will help clients anticipate and influence public policy and regulatory transformations, including those that are disrupting almost every aspect of the U.S. economy and altering today's business approaches and techniques.

"GoldsteinCope Policy Solutions was formed when we saw a gap in the market; companies and organizations need dynamic policy solutions for the problems of tomorrow. We've worked with and for some of the best teams in town, and that informs our approach tremendously," said Lon Goldstein. "Through our diverse range of expertise and extensive knowledge in influencing policy and navigating the halls of Congress, GoldsteinCope Policy Solutions helps businesses bridge the gap with regulators and policymakers that oversee a business community that is moving faster than policy can react," said Maryam Cope.

GPS clients include T-Mobile, CIT Group, the National Cyber Security Alliance, and the American Hotel and Lodging Association.

She previously worked at the Information Technology Industry Council as their lead cybersecurity lobbyist, and on Capitol Hill including time working for the current U.S. Ambassador to NATO, Kay Bailey Hutchison, and for the Senate Commerce Committee as a Professional Staff member.

Tony Russo, Vice President, Federal Legislative Affairs, T-Mobile, added, "Lon and his team lead the pack in providing insightful, thorough, and collaborative government relations consulting in Washington. T-Mobile is happy to be working with the GPS team."
