Background

About David Friedman

I am fueled by passion, creativity, and a broad and deep well of expertise in analyzing, influencing and setting federal and state policy to help people and our world. I love learning and growing and am always expanding who I am. I lead and coach with inspiring vision, challenging—but achievable—goals, and an inclusive approach that values all people and their life experiences. I create and foster data-driven strategy with a focus on the art of the possible (and sometimes the improbable). And I build relationships by listening carefully to the needs of broad sets of stakeholders and decisionmakers to find or expand our common ground. As an advocate, coalition leader and public speaker, I boil down complex issues into compelling narratives for diverse audiences and I develop new ways of thinking that build influence and change minds. And as an engineer, researcher and analyst, I am a rigorous problem-solver with extensive experience in public policy and technology. Currently seeking new opportunities, roles or contracts. Please reach out to me at 202-489-1842 to discuss.
