In the last few years, TSMC has quickly developed its lobbying efforts and presence in Washington, DC, amid the rising tensions between the US and China. It hired former Intel lobbyist Peter Cleveland as a senior vice president in the legal department. Cleveland previously served as the vice president of global government affairs at TSMC and helps the company with policy, legislative, and regulatory matters.
Cleveland has worked on Capitol Hill for lawmakers in the Senate’s finance and foreign relations committees and served as chief of staff for former California senator Dianne Feinstein.
