1) Financial Services Institute, Inc.

6-10 years

Successfully engaged policymakers and made permanent an expiring state law; ensuring the client's ability to maintain a significant revenue stream.

Repaired a formerly antagonistic relationship with a state association in order to reach a compromise on two competing bills that had failed to pass for several sessions. The compromise bill was passed in the first session it was introduced and increased the client's state-specific revenue by millions of dollars annually.

Won a leadership award at a fortune 300 company for leading a successful campaign against a state ballot initiative that saved the company tens of millions of dollars in the first year alone.

Our clients have most of their issues handled through financial services committees and through divisions of financial institutions. As a result, we have strong ties with those elected officials and regulators.

Michael R. Komaschka has over 10 years of experience dealing with controversial issues across all levels of federal, state and local government in all 50 states and has held a number of diverse positions, all centered on government and politics. Michael has held a position in Ohio governor Bob Taft's office, worked on the Bush-Cheney presidential campaign, and organized and managed grassroots campaigns for local, state and national issues. For eight years Michael worked for a Fortune 500 company, Reynolds American, Inc, handling several different roles. He directed a public affairs firm that beat a tax initiative. As Director of Policy and Advocacy, he worked with a multidisciplinary team to produce a strategic plan that included developing bipartisan messaging, creating and prioritizing legislative goals, and expanding the number of key stakeholders on an emerging issue. He holds a Bachelor of the Arts in Communication and Political Science from Cleveland State University and a Master of Applied Politics from The University of Akron.
