Our team

Founded by Obama administration alumni, our team’s experience spans state and federal government, national and local politics, philanthropy, nonprofits, journalism, and the private sector.

We have served in the White House, two federal agencies, and a Governor’s office. And we’ve advised startups and established players in education, clean energy, criminal justice reform, democracy-building, health care, technology, sustainable food, and reproductive rights.
