Silverline Expands into Texas

Responding to market growth in energy and infrastructure in Texas, Silverline has welcomed a new Vice President, Mike Viesca. A native Texan, Mike brings more than 20 years of experience advising organizations operating in complex policy, infrastructure, and regulatory environments, including work with leading utilities, energy developers, and infrastructure investors across the state.

“Texas is at the center of some of the most consequential energy discussions in the country,” said Viesca, who is dividing his time between Silverline’s Austin and Houston offices. “As our recent SEI2 report shows, Texas is rapidly emerging as a leading data center hub. There’s a clear need for Texas-based communicators who understand this market’s growth potential and the local stories driving it, and I look forward to stepping into that role.”

Viesca’s expertise strengthens Silverline’s capabilities, supports growth, and will help navigate clients through the evolving energy landscape across Texas.

“Texas is currently ground zero for the nexus of AI infrastructure, tech, and energy policy, and our latest report confirms a greater need for a more sophisticated communications strategy,” said Laura Taylor, CEO of Silverline Communications. “Bringing Mike Viesca onto the Silverline team provides us with deep roots in a market that is shaping the national and international narrative.”
