Lobbyist Natalie King is now a partner at RSA Consulting, the firm announced Wednesday.

King has 17 years’ experience in The Process, the past 10 of which were spent at the Tampa-based lobbying firm. During her decade at RSA, she has held the titles of vice president, chief operations officer, and now partner.

King joined RSA Consulting not long after it launched, and founder and CEO Ron Pierce says she has been integral to its success.

“As I was starting RSA Consulting, Natalie was right there each step of the way as a friend and adviser,” he said. “She joked with me one day that I’d have to grow the company big enough to bring her onto the team. After hearing that, I thought it would be a great idea. So, I asked. I’m just grateful she said yes.”

Over the course of nearly 11 years, King and Pierce have built a dynamic boutique firm that is ingrained in Florida politics. The firm has grown to add two lobbyists and a communications coordinator, and its presence has expanded to two offices: one in Brandon and the other in Tallahassee.
