Director of Innovation, Mayor’s Office of Tech and Innovation, New York

He began his career in war-torn former Yugoslavia, helping support local democracy-building. After living in New York during 9/11, he decided to refocus his efforts at home, leading a good government organization called the Center for Civic Responsibility then founding Grassroots Initiative, the nation’s first nonprofit election consulting firm.
