ABOUT WESTERVELT BERG
I believe the systems that shape daily life should actually work.That belief drives everything I do: helping companies and governments launch new products in public space by designing the rules, strategies, and partnerships that make them legitimate, not just viable.I specialize in the civic side of innovation, aligning permitting and pilot design with long-term public value, navigating B2G growth through regulatory strategy, and making complex systems legible to innovators.I’ve worked across the public and private spectrum, leading innovation from inside LA Metro, conducting policy research at the Eno Center and the Coalition for Reimagined Mobility, and advising startups and global companies through Cityfi. I’ve also been on the front lines of fast-scaling ventures like Bird, Exodigo, and Populus, and understand what it takes to build in the public realm.My focus is helping public and private leaders turn civic complexity into outcomes that serve people, places, and the systems they rely on.I’m also the co-author of New Tricks for Old Bureaucracies (Business Expert Press, 2026), a playbook for getting big things done in government.
