Throughout his career, Tommy has been a trusted advisor for both companies pursuing specific legislative and regulatory strategies and institutional investors assessing the impact of policy changes on their investment portfolios. Most recently, he led Marwood Group Research, where he spearheaded a multi-year strategy re-establishing the firm as the market leader for Washington healthcare investment research, resulting in several million dollars of revenue growth.
