We’re at the center of today’s biggest debates and defining moments, inside the Beltway, across New York’s media and financial worlds, and in state capitals across the country. Our work sits at the intersection of politics, business, and culture, helping leaders and organizations make an impact when it matters most. We hire people who are the best at what they do, and who like to have fun doing it; we don’t just break through. We break new ground.

The Data team drives the firm’s work across projects; conducting foundational analysis at the outset of engagements, providing ongoing monitoring and measurement, and delivering synthesized retrospectives that showcase our impact and surface future opportunities.
