The Aug. 4 edition of POLITICO Influence featured an exclusive scoop on the additions of Louis Sola, Chris Hayes, and Hayden Jewett as TRP’s newest partners.
THORN RUN ADDS 3: Louis Sola, who left the Federal Maritime Commission last month after six years, has joined Thorn Run Partners as one of three new partners at the firm. Sola was nominated to the FMC by President Donald Trump in 2018, and earlier this year Trump tapped him to lead the commission, which oversees maritime commerce, as its chair. The hire bolsters Thorn Run’s ties to the Trump administration at a key moment for international trade.
— Crypto lobbyist Chris Hayes and Republican lobbyist Hayden Jewett have also joined Thorn Run as partners. Hayes was the president and co-founder of the crypto-focused firm Capitol Asset Strategies, and before that he served as head of government affairs at the Celo Foundation. Jewett was most recently a principal at The Vogel Group and is a Gap, Boys and Girls Clubs of America and John Culberson alum.
