McManus most recently served as Deputy Secretary of Business Regulation at DBPR.
Brian McManus, who for his entire state government career sat at the confluence of business regulation and government, today joined the state’s largest lobbying firm — The Southern Group.
McManus brings more than 14 years of experience in state government, including work for the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, the Department of Economic Opportunity and as a chief aide in the state Senate.
“Brian is just the kind of leader we are looking for at The Southern Group,” said Rachel Cone, Managing Partner of The Southern Group’s Tallahassee office. “He has incredible experience in multiple levels of government and his ability to navigate ‘the process’ will serve our clients extremely well.”
