power broker

Where it comes from

From power + broker.

noun power brokers · power-broker

  1. A person or group having the ability to influence important decisions, especially in public policy, politics, and business. In France, a near-revolution by students and workers came close to toppling Charles de Gaulle in May; its economic aftermath in November almost certainly discredited forever Gaullism's vaunted role as the power broker of Europe.
