Brian Peters

Director of Government Relations

A native of the Pacific Northwest, Brian Peters is no stranger to the information technology industry.  Brian directs telecom, trade, and privacy for ITI member companies.

Prior to joining ITI, he worked in the office of Congressman Jay Inslee, starting in communications and eventually became a Legislative Assistant.  During his time with Congressman Inslee, Brian helped pass legislation that increased spectrum available for wireless broadband, and worked closely on various provisions of recent telecommunications legislation, including network neutrality, state jurisdiction on IP services, accessibility, and cable franchise reform.  He also worked with his colleagues in Congress, the tech sector, and law enforcement to introduce and move legislation addressing spyware, ISP wiretapping, and phone record access. Brian also played a leading role in the development of Leader Pelosi’s Democratic Innovation Agenda. His Congressional experience advancing Seattle’s high-tech economy gives him a unique policy skill-set fitting naturally with ITI member companies.  

Brian graduated from the University of Washington with a B.A. in International Studies and speaks Spanish fluently.
