Inside JWI
Jefferson Waterman International is a
Washington, D.C.-based political and business consulting firm
with a distinctly international practice. Our clients include:
• Political
entities—foreign governments, political movements,
issue-oriented organizations, and
individuals that require advocacy
representation in Washington and
elsewhere.
• International
corporations—companies requiring U.S. legislative or
regulatory support, political assistance
with their international sales and
marketing activities, or (in select cases)
investment.
The firm is distinguished by a hands-on
corps of experts drawn from the highest ranks of the private
sector as well as U.S. intelligence, regulatory trade agencies,
and foreign service. Through their decades in public service
and subsequent years in the corporate world, these individuals
have developed strategic ties to people who make and influence
decisions in key portions of:
• Africa
• The
Caucasus and Central Asia
• The
Americas
• East
and Southeast Asia
• The
Middle East
• Russia
• Central
and Eastern Europe
In official Washington, JWI has a
demonstrated record of working effectively with Congress; the
White House; and Departments of State, Defense, Treasury and
Commerce. In addition, our networks include important contacts
with individuals in industry, non-governmental organizations,
think tanks, the media, and funding institutions.
JWI’s value goes beyond whom we know
to what we know. The firm
offers an acute understanding of the
substance of international issues and Washington processes. As
a result, JWI is able to devise and coordinate appropriate,
effective tactics for specific client goals. Sometimes client
success requires a face-to-face
conversation with a head of state. Other times, success is best
achieved by forging powerful alliances or multinational
coalitions. Success can demand monitoring opportunities and
developments for fast action … providing strategic
exposure … or simply making a phone call. JWI has the
knowledge to tailor action to challenge, and the network and
ability to yield optimal results.
