Wiley Strengthens TMT Public Policy Capabilities with Addition of Alexandrine De Bianchi

February 25, 2025

Washington, DC – Wiley is pleased to announce that Alexandrine De Bianchi has joined the firm as a public policy advisor in the Telecom, Media & Technology (TMT) Practice. With a distinguished career in both the private and public sectors, De Bianchi brings unparalleled experience in artificial intelligence (AI), data security, privacy policy, technology, and telecommunications. Her arrival further bolsters Wiley’s ability to navigate complex regulatory and legislative landscapes on behalf of its clients and deepens the practice’s public policy capabilities – currently led by special counsel Crystal Tully, who joined Wiley in May 2023 after serving as the Deputy Staff Director for the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science & Transportation.

Prior to joining Wiley, De Bianchi was the Director of Legislative Affairs at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), serving as its primary liaison between members of Congress, their staff, Executive branch offices, and federal departments and agencies. Before her White House tenure, she was senior policy advisor to U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), where she played a critical role in negotiating key broadband and digital infrastructure provisions in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). She also drafted and supported legislation related to consumer privacy, broadband expansion, and emerging technology policy.

“Alex’s addition to our team reflects Wiley’s unwavering commitment to providing our clients with top-tier, bipartisan advocacy,” said Kathleen A. Kirby, co-chair of Wiley’s TMT Practice. “Her strategic insight into the legislative and regulatory processes, coupled with her experience navigating complex policy issues across both sides of the aisle, will be a tremendous asset to our clients facing an era of rapid technological evolution and regulatory scrutiny.”

Earlier in her career, De Bianchi served in the Office of Congressional Affairs at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), covering policy issues including spectrum, broadband mapping, and cybersecurity. She also served as director of federal government relations at the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), leading advocacy efforts focused on intellectual property, copyright enforcement, and policy initiatives impacting the music industry.

“I am excited to join Wiley, a firm renowned for its sophisticated public policy and regulatory acumen,” said De Bianchi. “My career has been dedicated to advancing policy solutions at the intersection of technology and governance, and I look forward to leveraging this experience to support Wiley’s clients as they navigate an increasingly complex and dynamic policy environment.”

With a robust team of over 60 attorneys, public policy advisors, and engineers, Wiley’s TMT Practice stands at the forefront of telecom, media, and technology law. The team combines legal acumen, business insights, and government knowledge and experience to address a wide range of client needs, from spectrum allocation and compliance to emerging technologies such as blockchain and the Internet of Things.
