Boundary Stone Partners Adds Three, Growing the Firm’s Bipartisan Energy Offerings
Former U.S. Representative Ryan Costello (R-PA), Logan de La Barre-Hays, and Christine Fogt join Bipartisan Energy Firm
WASHINGTON (March 4, 2026) - Boundary Stone Partners has added former U.S. Representative Ryan Costello (R-PA) as a Senior Advisor, and Logan de La Barre-Hays and Christine Fogt as Principals, expanding the firm’s bipartisan capabilities across infrastructure, transportation, energy, and federal finance.
The additions deepen the firm’s expertise across Congress, federal agencies, and government financing programs at a time when major infrastructure and industrial investments increasingly depend on coordination among legislative, regulatory, and funding channels. Boundary Stone Partners is expanding its capabilities as policymakers focus on modernizing infrastructure, strengthening domestic supply chains, supporting emerging technologies, and ensuring federal investment programs deliver durable economic and national security benefits.
Costello, who represented Pennsylvania’s 6th District from 2015 to 2019, served on the House Energy and Commerce, Transportation and Infrastructure, and Veterans’ Affairs Committees, as well as a member of the House Republican Conference Whip team. His legislative experience spans energy, technology, transportation, and tax policy, including cross-committee negotiations and congressional dealmaking that have shaped major legislation. While advising Boundary Stone and its clients on a wide range of energy and infrastructure matters, he will remain CEO of his independent consulting firm, Ryan Costello Strategies.
de La Barre Hays joins BSP after a decade of bicameral experience across core federal infrastructure and resilience programs on Capitol Hill, where she most recently served as a Senior Professional Staff Member to the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Sam Graves (R-MO). She previously held senior roles with Rep. Garret Graves (R-LA) and Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA). Her expertise shaped major national initiatives across key federal programs for Boundary Stone’s clients, including emergency management, disaster mitigation, climate adaptation, water resource management, and economic development.
Fogt brings significant executive branch experience from the Export-Import Bank of the United States and the Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office, now the Energy Dominance Financing Program, where she worked on federal financing transactions supporting large-scale energy and infrastructure deployment and cross-border investment for clean energy, telecommunications, mining and critical minerals, and LNG projects. She joins Boundary Stone’s Federal Finance practice, where she will help energy companies and manufacturers unlock non-dilutive and debt capital from federal finance programs.
“Ryan, Logan, and Christine each bring unique capabilities that reflect where federal policy and investment are headed,” said Jeff Navin, Co-founder and Partner at Boundary Stone Partners. “Ryan offers invaluable relationships with current members of Congress and senior administration officials, providing insight into legislative dynamics and policymaking for our energy and transportation clients. Logan’s experience advancing priorities across aviation, automobiles, maritime, roads, ports, bridges, and the built environment will help clients navigate the next wave of American infrastructure buildout and reindustrialization. Christine strengthens our ability to advise companies seeking access to federal finance and strategic initiatives such as President Trump's Project Vault and the FORGE partnership, particularly as clients engage on critical minerals, energy security, and global supply chains.”
Together, they join current Boundary Stone Partners Principal Conner Brace, who served as a political appointee at the Department of Energy in the first Trump Administration under Secretaries Rick Perry and Dan Brouillette, to broaden the firm’s Republican advisory and advocacy capabilities. These hires further strengthen Boundary Stone Partners’ federal finance practice, currently led by Partners Sydney Bopp and Kevin Curley, who previously held senior roles at the Loan Programs Office and U.S. International Development Finance Corporation.
