Albie Kaminsky, 33

For many in the business community, government can be a slow-rolling machine and sometimes be an obstacle to projects. 

Those people most likely haven’t interacted with Albert “Albie” Kaminsky, a government lobbyist who moves fast and decisively. For one Kaminsky, at 33, earned a leadership role in government affairs leading a lobbying team for a large cable company that some people don’t reach until they are at a career peak. Kaminsky was promoted to the position, senior director of state government affairs for Charter Communications, which operates Spectrum cable, in February. He spent some five years before that quickly working his way up to the role.
