Thirteen sessions
inside the room.
RGR shares its clients' drive for success: communicating regularly, mastering the issue, and outworking the other side.
Before founding RGR, Vincent was Director of State Government Relations for a top-30 lobbying firm, serving a portfolio of 20+ clients and managing the day-to-day operations of the state practice.
He began his career with former New York State Assemblymember Kevin Cahill — starting as an intern and working his way up to Legislative Director. He later served on central staff in the New York State Senate, negotiating budget and policy matters across insurance, health, labor, aging, and cultural affairs.
Vincent's experience spans consumer protection, human services, legal services, behavioral health, health care and Medicaid, developmental disabilities, professional practice issues, housing, and arts and cultural affairs.
