About Stephanie Sykes
I’m a senior government relations and public policy leader at a national financial institution with two decades of experience advising at the highest levels of government and navigating complex regulatory and political environments. I’ve worked directly with White House and Cabinet-level leadership, led national engagement on trillion-dollar economic and infrastructure initiatives, and engaged Members of Congress, Governors, Mayors and other officials - experience that translates directly to helping institutions anticipate risk and shape policy outcomes.I bring a strong understanding of federal, state, and local policy dynamics affecting financial services, economic development, and public-private investment. My strength is distilling complex regulatory and legislative developments into clear, strategic guidance for executive leadership and business teams. With a legal background and experience leading cross-functional teams, I am effective at aligning government relations, compliance, communications, and enterprise strategy.I offer credible presence with policymakers, the ability to build durable relationships across jurisdictions, and a strategic mindset focused on protecting institutional interests while enabling long-term growth and innovation.
