BOSTON – The Liberty Square Group is pleased to announce the addition of Marty Walsh as its new Senior Vice President. He will be focusing on economic development strategies and government relations at the federal, state, and local levels.  Mr. Walsh brings over fifteen years of work in the public sector to the Liberty Square Group, and will be providing its wide range of clients with an extensive breadth of knowledge of legislation, policy, grass roots organizing efforts, and specifically, business development.

Prior to joining the Liberty Square Group, Mr. Walsh was the Director of the Massachusetts Office of Business Development for Governor Deval Patrick. Walsh’s primary responsibility was to help businesses create jobs, increase private investments, and grow by helping companies navigate the local, state, and federal systems for grants, tax incentives and other technologies.

Prior to working in the Patrick Administration, Mr. Walsh worked for U.S. Senator Edward M. Kennedy for eight years in many different roles, including Campaign Manager on the 2006 re-election. In addition, he also served as a Legislative Assistant on the Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee in Washington D.C. for five years. Mr. Walsh also led efforts to create grass roots campaigns and press strategies that helped promote and pass some high profile legislation in that period.

Mr. Walsh has also managed several campaigns at the state and local levels in Massachusetts and has worked on the last three Democratic Presidential campaigns. This included directing the President Obama Election Day efforts in Manchester, New Hampshire, running Central Florida in 2004 for Senator John Kerry, and working on the Florida recount in 2000.
