ABOUT JEFFREY DRESSLER

With over a 15 years of high-level political and policy expertise in Washington, D.C, I currently serve as Managing Partner and Head of Global Government Affairs at SoftBank Group International, where I lead an international team in navigating complex public policy and regulatory landscapes. My mission is to bridge the gap between innovation and governments, ensuring SoftBank and its portfolio companies thrive in a rapidly changing geopolitical environment. I am committed to fostering strategic partnerships, championing innovation, and driving success by aligning business objectives with public interests. At SoftBank, I oversee global government affairs, providing expert-level guidance on national security, geopolitical risk, and regulatory frameworks across sectors like AI, fintech, robotics and others. I empower our portfolio companies by facilitating engagement with policymakers, enhancing reputation positioning, and tackling challenges such as export controls and CFIUS compliance. My collaborative, strategic mindset ensures impactful solutions that position SoftBank at the forefront of global innovation.I also serve as a Commissioner on the Congressionally-mandated Afghanistan War Commission. Given America’s long and difficult history in Afghanistan, I believe it’s important to study the issue and identify lessons learned which may help America fight and win future conflicts.
