Robert Charles: Profile

Having worked in President Reagan’s and President Bush 41’s White Houses, as counsel to US House Speaker Dennis Hastert for several years, and most recently, as President George W. Bush’s Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement from 2003-2005 for Colin Powell, Robert Charles offers a unique opportunity to hear how government can work for you – whether in procurement, appropriations, legislation, or regulation. His government experience is complemented by a strong reputation in litigation, teaching, and writing. Awarded the Distinguished Teacher of the Year by Harvard University’s Extension School in 2000, he taught cyberlaw and government oversight, has written hundreds of articles on foreign and domestic policy, book chapters and the 2004 book on Narcotics and Terrorism.

Former law clerk to the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, Oxford University Scholar, and Navy Reservist who was active duty after 9-11, he is a learned and lively speaker with experiences ranging from close connection to Republican leadership to training the Iraqi and Afghan Police in 2003-2005.

Current, exhilarating and humorous, he is a sure success for a corporate, convention or academic setting.

"Mr. Charles was absolutely wonderful! He was very professional but also very easy to talk with and work with on a personal level."
