Background

About David Vorhaus

I am Google's Director for Global Election Integrity, focusing on ensuring the security and integrity of information about free and fair elections worldwide on Google platforms. Previously, I worked on a range of philanthropic issues at Schmidt Futures (schmidtfutures.com), a philanthropic investing organization started by Eric and Wendy Schmidt. Prior to that I worked for seven years in the White House, helping to drive public policy development and implementation across a wide range of subject matters. I have driven private sector and government efforts on areas such as immigration policy, veterans affairs, cybersecurity, economic and fiscal policy, infrastructure investment, broadband communications, and other areas. The common thread to this work is that I am passionate about public policy and the idea of making organizations work better for citizens. Over this period of time as well as my past work experience, I have honed a set of skills that make me expert at strategic planning, crisis management and risk mitigation, implementation of complex initiatives, and management of challenging and diffuse organizations.
