Who We Are

ATP Advisors Global was founded in 2011 to work with both public and private sector clients navigating complexity, change, and public scrutiny — environments where trust matters and missteps are costly.

We’ve navigated the full range of challenges facing regulated energy developers: permitting, legislative strategy, coalition-building, and community engagement.

For organizations operating in or entering the nuclear lifecycle — from fuel and generation to storage, decommissioning, and community siting — ATP brings the rare combination of federal policy fluency, multi-state field experience, and the ability to make complex technical arguments land with non-technical audiences.

Our clients span industries where uncertainty is high and leadership can’t afford to wait for perfect conditions.

ATP focuses on what actually moves organizations forward: helping you identify the relationships, resources, and internal strengths you already have. Building strategy around what's there, not what you assume you need to create from scratch.

We find the strengths an organization already has and put them to work where they’re most needed, especially where technical teams and public audiences need to understand each other.

When the pressure is high and the path forward is uncertain, we help organizations build the bridge between internal alignment and external impact.

Who We Work With

  • Regulated energy, defense, and infrastructure industries — where compliance and stakeholder buy-in are mission-critical (utilities, agencies, renewable developers, grid innovators)

  • Nuclear technology developers and advanced reactor startups — navigating the NLIC ecosystem, where the questions you ask early determine the resources you unlock later

  • Engineering-driven and operationally complex enterprises — where technical teams, operators, and executives must align (manufacturers, national laboratories, infrastructure firms)

  • Government agencies and public institutions — under pressure to perform across competing internal and external demands

  • Cross-functional organizations in transition — whether driven by leadership change, policy shifts, or market evolution

  • Athletic departments and sports organizations — navigating rapid change, public visibility, and evolving rules (NIL, conference realignment)

Our Founder

Most advisors stay in one lane. Parker has built her career in the spaces between — on Capitol Hill and on the floor of energy facilities, advising Fortune 500 boards and coaching Olympic athletes, shaping federal energy policy in Washington and watching it implemented by operators in the field.

That vantage point means she understands something most consultants don't: the distance between what technical experts know and what decision-makers hear is exactly where projects stall, funding disappears, and licenses get delayed. Her work closes that gap.

Parker spent her career at the center of federal energy policy — from the Edison Electric Institute, where she worked alongside NEI and AGA on nuclear and natural gas issues, to one of the country's largest regulated utilities, where she built a 28-state government affairs operation from scratch.

She also serves as an Executive Leadership Coach at the University of Michigan's Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy.

What’s in a name?

ATP = adenosine triphosphate

The molecule that fuels energy at the cellular level and a reminder that strength already exists within every system.

At ATP Advisors Global, our work is activating that hidden potential into strategy, leadership, and real-world impact. We don't build capacity from zero — we find what's already there and put it to work.

The name was born in 2011, when our founder was simultaneously shaping energy policy and coaching athletes. Different kinds of power, same conviction: the capacity to move forward already exists. It just needs the right conditions to ignite.

Most firms focus on what's missing. We start by noticing what's working — and expand from there.

  • We turn overlooked strengths into strategic advantages, so you can build momentum without starting from scratch

  • Others prescribe costly overhauls. We help you get more from what you already have

  • While others hand off deliverables and advise from a distance, ATP works alongside you to align teams and build the stakeholder trust that strategy depends on

  • We take risk seriously. We take problems seriously. And we take excellence just as seriously — because what's already working is almost always the most underused asset in the room.
