Leadership Node
Frederico "Fred" Polsinelli Jr.
Fred Polsinelli founded Polsinelli Public Affairs, LLC in 2006 after building a career spanning two decades in New York's most demanding political and business arenas. His firm operates with the conviction that meaningful outcomes require more than connections — they require strategic vision, regulatory fluency, and the credibility to walk into any room in Albany or City Hall and command attention.
A recognized expert in coalition building and navigating the intricacies of the New York State "Lobbying Act," Fred has personally directed campaigns that have shaped cannabis legislation, secured gaming licenses, and influenced government procurement decisions across New York and Vermont.
Under his leadership, PPA has become the go-to firm for organizations seeking to navigate the intersection of regulated industries and government affairs — from dispensary licensing before Manhattan Community Boards to representing major investment interests in casino gaming development.
