Bill Pistor is an environmental and collaborative solutions expert. He has had intensive and often high-level experience resolving sensitive and complicated issues, including international disputes, business issues, and air/water quality. He also serves as counsel on high-level public affairs and policy-related communications.

Bill is both a senior program designer/counselor and front-line facilitator and mediator. He is exceptionally skilled at devising programs and processes that steer difficult, multi-party negotiations fairly and effectively to outcomes that reflect all parties’ goals.

Bill is currently directing two major collaborative solutions (CS) projects, focused on public involvement for identifying and reaching agreement on issues and concerns that must be resolved for a hydroelectric facility re-licensing. Both involve extensive cultural, scientific, environmental, and business issues and interests and dozens of active participants.

He has also been a senior advisor on collaborative solutions projects on issues including environmental regulations and global poverty alleviation.

Bill’s environmental policy experience is broad and deep. He managed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) negotiations concerning environmental protection and water infrastructure on the US-Mexico border. He served two EPA administrators and advised the White House on public outreach and participation related to the North American Free Trade Agreement. He also advised the head of the EPA and other senior staff on legislative outreach and communications issues. He has worked with major companies and their stakeholders, including Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas & Electric.
