What Our Clients Say
I'd recommend Pragmatic Policy Group to any company that wants to innovate fast while shaping a new regulatory landscape. Oliver helped Lyft develop smart regulation on everything from the Future of Work to Electric Vehicles. He helped us engage with policymakers and community groups to develop and pass new laws which protected the $61 billion rideshare industry and were strongly supported by 76% of rideshare and delivery drivers.

Oliver's contributions to the national economy and community were nothing short of remarkable during his time advising the Australian Government.

Oliver's work has left a lasting legacy, securing a stronger and more prosperous future for the nation and its communities.
