Shaudi FULP
Principal
With a career spanning local, state, national, and global government relations, Shaudi Fulp advises clients across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors on political and public affairs strategies.
Her experience reflects an operational understanding of how policy moves through complex political and business environments. She was the inaugural Head of Global Government Relations for a leading entertainment, sports, and media company during a phase of accelerated growth backed by private equity. In this role, she built and directed advocacy teams across the U.S. and internationally, securing major tax incentives, legalizing core business operations in new markets, and establishing the company’s first political fundraising infrastructure. She also served as Chief Advocate and Senior Advisor at a Fortune 5 company, where she oversaw tax policy, drove bipartisan political investments, and led efforts to secure national regulatory approval for a high-profile business acquisition. Shaudi began her career in journalism, reporting on California state politics and public policy.
A supporter of multidisciplinary research and the arts, Shaudi serves on the External Advisory Committee of the UC Berkeley Citrin Center for Public Opinion Research, the Dean’s Advisory Council for the UC Berkeley Division of Social Sciences, and the Board of Directors of the LA Opera. In partnership with POLITICO, the Citrin Center released a first-of-its-kind survey comparing the views of California’s general electorate and “policy influencers”—a collaboration she helped conceptualize and guide through to implementation. She previously served on the National Advisory Council of the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies and was named a Polsby Scholar for her research on the Top Two Primary.
She graduated with honors from the University of California, Berkeley, where she earned a Master’s degree in Political Science and double majored in Legal Studies and Political Psychology (Interdisciplinary Studies) as an undergraduate.
