GREENBRIAR CAPITAL CORP APPOINTS LUIS BACO AS SPECIAL
CONSULTANT
Greenbriar Capital Corp. has
appointed Luis Baco, LLM, of Capitol Hill Consulting Group (CHCG), as a special consultant.
Prior to joining CHCG, Mr. Baco served as chief of staff to congresswoman Jenniffer Gonzalez-Colon in the
U.S. House of Representatives. Mr. Baco was the congresswoman's chief policy adviser and oversaw the legislative
efforts leading to Puerto Rico's recovery in the aftermath of the devastating hurricanes of 2017. Mr. Baco was also
responsible for shaping the overall strategic vision of the congresswoman's health care, economic development,
energy and foreign affairs agenda.
Prior to his return to Congress in January, 2017, he was a capital partner and director of the Washington office of the Puerto Rico-based McConnell Valdes law firm. Before that, Mr. Baco served as chief of staff to
congressman Luis G. Fortuno. During this time, he spearheaded the creation of the Congressional Friends of
Spain Caucus and was a board member of the House Chiefs' of Staff Association. From 1999 to 2005 he was
counsel in the legislative and government relations practice group of the international Law Firm of McDermott,
Will and Emery. Before that, he was deputy executive director for the Puerto Rico Federal Affairs
Administration, where his responsibilities included advising the Governor on legislative and federal policy matters
and supervising the overall operation and the development of grassroots strategies for the nine regional offices of
the government of Puerto Rico in the continental United States.
A native Puerto Rican, Mr. Baco began his career in Washington as deputy chief of staff and legislative director to
congressman Carlos Romero-Barcelo. In that capacity, he was responsible for the development and
implementation of legislative strategies in the areas of health care, economic development, higher education,
general appropriations, international relations, veterans' affairs and Puerto Rico self-determination. From 1993 to
1994 he also served as a member of President Clinton's National Health Care Reform Task Force.
Jeff Ciachurski, chief executive officer of Greenbriar, stated: "With his more than two decades of experience on Capitol Hill and as
a trusted and respected legislative attorney and advocate for numerous causes, Luis is a welcome addition to
represent Greenbriar. We look forward to his wise counsel and wide-ranging expertise. Having worked in Puerto
Rico on energy projects for 10 years, I have witnessed first-hand his passion and commitment towards Puerto
Rican issues especially energy independence and renewable energy."
Mr. Baco holds a bachelor of arts in political science from the University of Puerto Rico, a juris doctor from
the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico School of Law, and a master of law (LLM) in international
and comparative law from Georgetown University. He is admitted to the practice of law in Puerto Rico and the
District of Columbia.
Mr. Baco is a 2006 fellow of the U.S. Spain Council's Young Leaders program and, in 2009, was awarded with the
Officer's Cross Royal Order of Isabella the Catholic by King Juan Carlos I of Spain. He also has served
