Background

About Tomas Hertzog

I am a fourth-year Political Science & Economics student at Northeastern University with specialized experience in regulatory compliance, economic development, and policy analysis. I'm passionate about the intersection of public policy and economic growth, particularly in urban development. At Simon Compliance, I support investment firms with regulatory compliance needs, helping navigate complex SEC requirements while implementing efficient compliance systems. Previously, I conducted economic development research for the City of Pawtucket, where I analyzed federal grants, collaborated on urban planning initiatives, and facilitated community engagement. My academic research has focused on balancing economic development with social equity, examining how cities can promote growth while preventing displacement of vulnerable communities. I've developed actionable policy recommendations for municipalities and analyzed the influence of corporate interests on infrastructure legislation. I'm particularly interested in connecting with professionals working in urban policy, economic development, compliance, and public-private partnerships.
