Background

About Geoff Berman

As Head of Government Relations and Public Affairs for Lyft in the Eastern U.S, I lead strategic legislative advocacy efforts across a range of critical issues including safety, data privacy, labor policy, sustainability, electric vehicles, and emerging technology. I bring over a decade of experience driving public policy outcomes and navigating the intersection of tech, government, and regulatory frameworks. I specialize in building trusted relationships with policymakers, industry coalitions, and local stakeholders to influence legislation and advance business goals. I’ve led high-stakes campaigns, coordinated cross-functional public affairs strategies, and managed political engagement efforts at both the local and national levels and focused on regulatory strategy, stakeholder engagement, coalition building, policy development, political risk analysis, emerging technologies, trust and safety, AI policy, and more. I’m passionate about using policy as a tool for innovation and impact. With a J.D. and advanced degrees in American history, I bring a deep understanding of institutional systems, strategic communication, and the evolving role of technology in society. I am admitted to the bar in New York and Colorado.
