Turning Policy Headwinds into Commercial Wins
The best commercial outcomes happen when companies understand the policy environment shaping their industry — and have someone fighting for them inside it. After nearly two decades as a U.S. government affairs and commercial advocacy leader, I've seen how rarely those two worlds communicate well. Current Policy LLC exists to close that gap.

Select Wins
In Sweden, I partnered with Ericsson to successfully rewrite national 5G spectrum regulations — excluding high-risk vendors and triggering Sweden's first whole-of-government China Strategy.In the energy sector, I led advocacy campaigns that cleared $200M in payment arrears for Chevron and enabled a $1.7B divestment for ExxonMobil.These are the kind of outcomes that come from knowing how government actually works from the inside.
About Paul Stahle
For nearly two decades, I worked inside the U.S. government as a commercial advocate — not a bystander. From securing a $1.5B aerospace deal during a Presidential state visit, to reshaping Sweden's 5G regulations alongside Ericsson, to clearing $200M in arrears for Chevron, my job was always the same: help American companies win in complex policy environments.Now I bring that same focus directly to the private sector. Whether you're a multinational navigating geopolitical risk, a growth-stage energy or tech company building your first government affairs strategy, or an organization entering a new market, I help make policy work for you.
