Current Policy LLC

Government Affairs & Commercial Advocacy

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.

About Paul Stahle

Policy is personal — decisions made in government and business ripple out to all our lives. My passion is creating the conditions that translate ideals into impact. That means the right partners, the right relationships, and strategies that turn policy from a headwind into something that actually works for people.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.
