He was executive director of Business Forward, the nonprofit advocacy group that helps business leaders advise Washington officials on crafting policies to spur job creation and economic growth.

Before entering the PA/political arena, Copeland served as a first sergeant in the Israeli Defense Forces and worked as an investment banker and business journalist in Europe.
Licy Do Canto, managing director of APCO/DC, said Copeland’s “breadth of experience in geopolitics and solid understanding of the world economy coupled with his extensive background in the Washington political ecosystem and deep expertise in public policy makes him a bold and visionary leader" for the PA group and its clients.
