Public Knowledge has the pleasure of inviting you to a multifaceted program focused on training and developing the next generation of tech policy experts and public interest advocates that reflects the diversity of voices and experiences in our society.
Please join us for our monthly Career Breakfast Series. This event is designed specifically for students and recent graduates of color, offering insights into tech policy and public interest careers, and providing a platform for individuals from underrepresented backgrounds. This time you will have the opportunity to have a great conversation with Asad Ramzanali.
Asad has over a decade of leadership in technology and technology policy. He is currently at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), where he serves as the Chief of Staff and Deputy Director for Strategy, with the designation of Special Assistant to the President. Asad advises the OSTP Director, a member of the President’s Cabinet who oversees 150 staff and leads key priorities for President Biden and Vice President Harris, including AI, semiconductor R&D, cancer research, and climate science.
Asad joined OSTP in 2022 after working for four years on Capitol Hill. He served as Legislative Director for U.S. Representative Anna Eshoo, who represents much of Silicon Valley in the House, after serving as a fellow in the Office of U.S. Senator Brian Schatz. Asad authored several pieces of legislation that were signed into law on AI, R&D, privacy, broadband, and semiconductors.
Asad started his career in the private sector, before working in public policy. He worked on the corporate strategy team at Intuit Inc. and managed an impact investing program funded by JPMorgan Chase that invested in early-stage financial technology startups that serve low-income Americans. Asad holds a Bachelors of Arts degree in economics from the University of California, Los Angeles, and a Master in Public Policy degree from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government.
