Several years ago, Roy Wells envisioned a new kind of public affairs firm. Its core services would be lobbying, strategic communications and business consulting. It would capitalize on new technology to scan the public policy landscape, to reach key audiences and bolster the relationships conducive to clients’ success.
Triad Strategies quickly emerged as one of the largest and most successful public affairs firms in Pennsylvania, whose clientele includes Fortune 500 companies, major healthcare providers and hospital groups, agribusinesses, energy companies, non-profits, state agencies and professional trade organizations. Today, Triad is uniquely positioned to take on the tough assignments that require creative strategies.
As president, Roy recruited the largest staff of registered lobbyists in the state. The team includes former legislative and executive branch staff members from both sides of the political aisle.
With strategic communications practice leader Tony May, he also has assembled Pennsylvania’s premier group of issue management and crisis communications professionals.
The result is the triad of lobbying, strategic communications and business consulting.
Building on the firm’s success in Harrisburg, Triad now has a presence in Philadelphia, Washington, Lancaster and Scranton. The firm has strategic alliances with partners whose expertise includes law, finance, advertising and marketing.
In addition to managing the firm, Roy continues to engage in developing strategies for Triad’s growing roster of clients and maintains an active role in the firm’s core practices.
Before moving into the private sector, Roy spent seven years working in the General Assembly and the Pennsylvania Treasury Department. As deputy state treasurer, he was responsible for the administration of the department, including the preparation, introduction, and passage of key legislation. He also served as liaison between the Treasury Department and House and Senate leadership, as well as members of the General Assembly.
Before that, he was a budget analyst for the Majority House Appropriations Committee, with primary responsibility for analyzing and making recommendations concerning the appropriations of the Departments of Commerce, Corrections, Probation and Parole, Attorney General, and Auditor General. He also had oversight responsibility for the Commonwealth's economic development programs and was the rural policy coordinator for the House Majority. He served as senior staff to both House and Senate leadership and has had responsibility for monitoring all aspects of the legislative and budget process.
Roy is a past president of the Tuesday Club, a private central Pennsylvania business luncheon club, and serves as chair of the Derry Township Zoning Board.
He has a bachelor of arts in politics from Fairfield University, and he received a master’s in political science at Penn State. |
