Justin R. McCaulley is an experienced consultant in philanthropic, media, and political/government arenas serving corporations, local governments, higher education, and nonprofit organizations.

Justin brings a new approach to the delivery of communications and opportunity development services. Justin works with McCaulley&Company clients face-to-face to develop customized and innovative solutions which meet their goals. His expertise in the legislative, regulatory, procurement, grants/incentives, and budget/appropriations processes has provided his clients with an exceptional record of success in securing favorable policy or funding for programs, technology development, and capital projects.
