gatekeepers
Gostaria de ver sugestões de tradução para o termo "gatekeepers" no seguinte contexto:
"Many foreign companies believe that if they know the right people, or get their messages in front of the gatekeepers, they can move their business forward in the EUA. In fact, the most successful foreign companies are those that focus on getting things done as opposed to building connections."
Obrigado!

Gatekeeper Definition
There are many industries where gatekeepers are necessary. Gatekeepers are people or policies that act as a go-between, controlling access from one point to another.
They may refuse, control, or delay access to services.
Alternatively, they may also be used to oversee how work is being done and whether it meets certain standards.
