Episode 10: The CEO as Chief Advocacy Officer (Copy)
Companies normally rely on their Washington lobbyists and trade association chiefs to lead their influence efforts.
But Trump doesn’t like talking to lobbyists — he wants to go right to the CEO.
That’s requiring CEOs to take on a new and sometimes uncomfortable role: Chief Advocacy Officer.
On this week’s edition of The Wolves of K Street Podcast, former Trump advisor Joe Grogan talks how the president’s direct outreach to CEOs – which often takes place after midnight on his cell phone – changes how the White House functions – and how the influence business works.
