Jeff Wiener brings over fifteen years of Capitol Hill, government relations, federal marketing, and business development experience to mCapitol Management and its clients.
Throughout his career, Jeff has worked with corporations, hospitals, colleges, charities, and municipalities to help them develop strategies to succeed in Washington. With a policy focus on national security, clean energy, tax, and institutional advocacy, Jeff specializes in helping mCapitol Management’s clients promote their federal policy and funding objectives in Washington. Additionally, Jeff has worked with companies big and small to secure federal research dollars for product development, open doors to enable the sale of clients’ products and services to the U.S. government, and create partnerships within the private sector to bolster clients’ bottom lines.
A native of Louisiana, Jeff began his career as a senior legislative advisor to Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) on defense, military, construction, foreign affairs, veterans, and trade policy issues and worked with her for 6 years. While working with Senator Landrieu, a member of both the Senate Armed Services Committee and Senate Appropriations Committee, Jeff held a top secret clearance and worked on key legislative initiatives including eliminating the social security offset that military widows and widowers pay on their spouses’ survivor benefits; increasing the Navy’s shipbuilding budget; and raising funding levels for National Guard, Reserve forces, and SOCOM weapons procurement. Having worked on a number of major bipartisan initiatives for the co-chair of the Senate Centrist Coalition, Jeff is trusted by Members and congressional staff on both sides of the aisle.
Prior to joining mCapitol, Jeff spent four years at Fabiani & Company where he managed a portfolio of clients including cutting edge defense, telecommunications, life sciences, and automotive companies. He also represented several international energy, aerospace, and logistics companies. In that role, he helped a start-up automobile manufacturer win more than $500 million in loan guarantees from the Department of Energy to perform R&D and modernize a production plant. He helped secure several million dollars in Department of Defense funding for various clients working on advanced medical research to protect our troops in theatre, as well as the development of new training technologies for military ranges. For his international clients, Jeff helped them research and determine locations around America to establish U.S. headquarters, and he introduced them to Fortune 500 American companies, including the major airlines, to create strategic partnerships and potential joint ventures. Jeff also served as a Vice President at Cassidy & Associates where he provided day-to-day counsel on public policy matters to senior executives of numerous publicly-traded and large, privately-held companies.
Jeff received his BA degree in Political Communication from George Washington University, and his JD from the Washington University School of Law.
