Capitol Weekly’s Top 100: Jonathan Ross

63. Jonathan Ross

Our critics – and there are many – complain that this list contains too many lobbyists. Well…they’re probably right! But what editor with more than two working brain cells would leave off someone like Jonathan Ross, who just so happens to lead KP Public Affairs’ technology and financial services practices. That includes gaining some big wins of late for some small tech firm client you might have heard of called Google. We think that one might be around for a while, but time will tell. When Ross isn’t helping the Google bros to another massive win against us poor media mutts, he busies himself with a few other Digital-Age titans like Airbnb, Cisco Systems, Citigroup, Comcast, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Waymo. Oh, and he also helped start KP’s predecessor firm, Kahl Pownall, and alongside Ed Manning helped the firm transition to its current iteration. Geez, Jon, how about you save something for someone else, eh? You’re making some folks look bad.
