About Steven Damico

As a Senior Vice President at JConnelly, I specialize in strategic intelligence and communications, helping clients navigate high-stakes scenarios with confidence and precision. With 17 years of experience in political communication and reputation management, I’ve developed a deep expertise in creating rapid-response strategies that protect and enhance client reputations during sensitive situations. My work involves leading investigative efforts and intelligence gathering to provide actionable insights, while serving as a direct liaison to the media on behalf of my clients. Whether guiding clients through complex public relations challenges or ensuring their business continuity plans are solid, I am committed to delivering innovative solutions in fast-evolving environments. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with hundreds of political campaigns across 46 states, built relationships with advocacy groups and nonprofits, and specialized in policy areas such as energy, environmental issues, tax policy, and financial regulation. These experiences give me a unique perspective that I now leverage at JConnelly, where I support clients in safeguarding their brands and overcoming reputational challenges.
