Catalyst today announced Jessalynn Cairer has joined their Missouri government relations team.
“Catalyst’s growth and expansion are fueled by a commitment to client success and outcomes, and the addition of Jessalynn Cairer will strengthen that mission,” said Danny Pfeifer, Catalyst founder. “Her deep knowledge of Missouri’s legislative landscape and her results-oriented approach will be invaluable to our team. Jessalynn brings experience, dedication and a relentless drive that align perfectly with our values, and we are excited to welcome her to Catalyst.”
Cairer will provide support to members of the Missouri government affairs team with her wealth of experience and critical insights into Missouri’s legislative landscape.
