About Us

AC Strategies is led by founding partners Amy Fuerstenau and Curtis Seymour.  They bring a broad range of professional experience, allowing them to deliver focused strategy tailored to meet their clients individual needs. 



They enlist experts, leverage relationships and build diverse coalitions to address some of the most pressing political and societal challenges of our time, including climate change.


They are at the helm of shaping and leading strategies to advance public policy at the local, state, and federal levels - and they have the track record to prove it. The two partners played significant roles in building and leading the groundbreaking States Program at the Energy Foundation. In both 2019 and 2020, that program helped to deliver the most state climate and clean energy policy wins in U.S. history.
