Where Are They Now?

We went looking for our favorite Obama and Clinton campaign alums. We found them in corporate America.


Clinton Campaign

Stephanie Hannon (Chief Technology Officer)

During Trump’s first year, Hannon, a Google and Facebook alum, was an “executive in residence” at Silicon Valley venture-capital firm Greylock Partners. In that time, Greylock invested in projects like Blend, a mortgage platform for lenders like Wells Fargo, and driverless car start-up Nauto. She’s now the CFO of Strava, a fitness app and social network for athletes.

Cheryl Mills (advisor and counsel)

Mills remains the CEO of BlackIvy Group, a “values-driven company that builds and grows commercial enterprises in Sub-Saharan Africa” that she founded in 2013. The firm made news in 2016 because its early financial backing turned out to have come from the chairman of a garment company that Mills, while serving Clinton in the State Department, had worked overtime to open up a business opportunity for in post-earthquake Haiti. BlackIvy is now better known for promoting a 23-cents-per-hour wage in Ghana. Since 2013, Mills has also served on the board of investment firm BlackRock, currently making a killing out of deforestation in Brazil.

Minyon Moore (senior advisor, political outreach and strategy)

“Minyon Moore” might sound like the name of a character from an unfinished Mike Myers script about Clinton and her longtime underlings, but rest assured she is very real. Moore became the president of Onward Together, Clinton’s #resistance nonprofit. She’s also a partner at Qualfon/Center Partners, a call center service provider and global business-process outsourcing firm which has been accused by its workers in Guyana of low wages, abuse, legally mandated break violations, and serving inedible food at its canteen. And like others on this list, Moore has parlayed her government connections into business, becoming a principal of consulting firm Dewey Square Group, where she helps Fortune 100 companies to “achieve public policy goals” and deal with their “state and local public policy issues.
