Michael Colopy

Mr. Colopy began his career as an aide in the US House and Senate interpreting complex international issues for Members of Congress in ways they could explain to their constituents. His singular effectiveness in foreign policy presentations to the US business community has put him at the top of his profession. Educated at Princeton University in history and international affairs, he studied in several countries including Iran, the UK and others prior to working in Washington DC on several major international questions. These included SALT II, the Camp David Accords, the Philippine Bases Agreements, the Taiwan Relations Act, foreign aid and arms control. Among other assignments he was communications advisor to many Members of Congress, a senior aide to Senator John Glenn and assistant chief of staff for the presidential campaign.

Over the last eighteen years, Michael Colopy has similarly assisted a broad mix of American business executives and foreign clients. In 1988 he co-founded International Commerce Consultants Incorporated (ICCI) in McLean Virginia with affiliates in six countries, specializing in foreign policy and trade issues in East Asia with special focus on the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, logging more than fifty extended visits to the region. In 1992 Michael Colopy became a partner at the legislative and international trade firm, O'Connor & Hannan, the first non-lawyer -- as the Wall Street Journal noted, to be elected a general partner in a US law firm.
