Andrew Ferguson

Co-CEO, Dalio Education

“In my 30+ years of public affairs campaign work, I’ve never encountered anyone like Roy. His ability to strategically weave together the many aspects of a complex public affairs campaign is second to none, and he executes with great respect for each of the team members.”

Alan Feldman

Former SVP Public Affairs, MGM Resorts International

“Roy is a thoughtful, strategic communications consultant. He is recognized as one who 'gets things done'. He has strong relationships with business leaders, public officials and the media and can easily connect people to share information on issues or opportunities. Roy is full of energy and loves a challenge. He asks the tough questions to best identify risks and opportunities and then develops proactive communication strategies designed to deliver the ‘win’ for his clients.”

Maureen Westbrook

President (retired), Connecticut Water Company

“Roy’s networks are unbelievable, he understands politics, he learns complex issues quickly, and he knows how to distill complicated information into simple messages for elected officials and the media. He made it possible for us to secure overwhelming support for a groundbreaking criminal justice reform package that pundits initially said would go nowhere. I highly recommend him not just because of his rare combination of skills, but because his commitment to help you realize your goal is truly special.”

Michael Thompson

Former Senior Policy Director, Pew Charitable Trusts

Roy’s magic power is crafting communications strategies that take complex issues and get them out into the world in a digestible and compelling way. With deep press relationships and keen attention to the news cycle and political dynamics, Roy draws critical connections and develops messaging in a way that powerfully shapes public opinion.

Erin Boggs

Executive Director, Open Communities Alliance

"In our world that involves deep policy analysis, it is difficult to turn our research into actionable public policy changes. Over the years, we have relied on Roy Occhiogrosso's expertise in formulating clear and concise messaging around our policy initiatives. Roy has an incredible track record of developing and implementing plans that influence decision makers while engaging the general public. His ability to engage stakeholders and those who influence them across multiple segments is unmatched."

Joe DeLong

Executive Director & CEO, Connecticut Conference of Municipalities

"During Connecticut’s marriage equality campaign, Love Makes a Family hired Roy to help us with crisis communications. His knowledge, instincts and networks were invaluable during a very challenging time in our fight. He joined our work when the idea of making it legal for same-sex couples to marry did not have the public support—or political support—it does today. Not every communications professional would have chosen to work with us. Roy was willing to take the risk, and our effort benefited tremendously because of it."

Anne Stanback

Founding Executive Director, Love Makes a Family

“Roy brings to work an incredible depth of political understanding and strategy, a willingness to dig in and work hard, and balances it all with a sense of humor and fun. He helped conceive, implement, and manage a 17 state, 2 year public affairs campaign. He was an invaluable asset to our successful work, and I can’t recommend him highly enough.”

Deborah Fleischaker

Former Director, American Bar Association’s Death Penalty Moratorium Implementation Project
