Jacob Wohl
Lobbyist and Technologist
I build systems at the intersection of technology and policy. My latest venture is IRIS C2 Systems, an advanced AI-enabled cyber command and control platform. I also founded LobbyMatic and maintain an active role in Washington DC lobbying, investigative journalism, and open-source cybersecurity development.

My current focus is IRIS C2 Systems, where we are developing an advanced AI-enabled cyber command and control platform designed for modern cybersecurity operations.
Previously, I founded LobbyMatic, an AI automation platform serving top lobbying firms, corporate government relations offices, and trade associations globally. Our technology streamlines policy monitoring, stakeholder engagement, and regulatory compliance.
As a registered lobbyist in Washington DC, I've worked on issues ranging from defense appropriations to financial services regulation, developing expertise in navigating complex policy landscapes and building effective advocacy strategies.
Outside of my policy work, I've hosted, produced and directed the Predator DC show, an investigative series that exposed 112 individuals attempting to engage in illicit activity with minors, including several high-profile members of the DC establishment. I also contribute to open-source cybersecurity, focusing on offensive security tools and techniques, and research on nation-state cyber deconfliction.

The Eroding Advantage: Systematic Gaps in Nation-State Cyber Deconfliction and a Framework for Strategic Restoration (2019-2025)
Jacob Wohl & other unnamed contributors
Building on Juan Andrés Guerrero-Saade’s seminal 2019 “King of the Hill” analysis, this paper examines the evolution and failure of nation-state cyber deconfliction mechanisms from 2019-2025. Through empirical analysis of major incidents, we demonstrate how adversarial innovations have systematically exploited Western coordination gaps...
