Robin Lloyd, who was previously managing director at Giffords (the public policy firm led by former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords), joins Rational 360 as a senior vp.
At Giffords, Lloyd led the organization’s communications, government affairs, political and engagement operations. “Her hard work, strategic vision, and ability to get things done have been crucial to passing hundreds of lifesaving gun laws at the state level, getting universal background checks through the House twice, and helping pass the first piece of federal gun safety legislation in nearly 30 years,” said Giffords.
She was previously director of federal affairs for the City of New York under Mayor Michael Bloomberg and served on the legislative staffs of Reps. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) and Ciro Rodriguez (D-TX).
“Robin has earned a tremendous reputation among thought leaders in Washington due to her seasoned strategic and political insight, and we believe those talents will be incredibly beneficial to clients as they navigate the changing and complex dynamics of Washington,” said Rational 360 CEO and managing partner Patrick Dorton.
