Amanda Bailey, senior advisor to the Black Economic Alliance, has joined Invariant to work with clients to develop CEO and C-suite engagement activities to ensure their outreach resonates with target audiences.
The BEA is a non-partisan coalition of business leaders and advocates pushing for economic development and prosperity for Black communities.
Earlier, Bailey was lead fundraiser for VP Kamala Harris’ presidential run and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s campaign.
She also devised strategy for Congresswoman Karen Bass’ run for mayor of Los Angeles and Citigroup Global vice-chair Ray McGuire's campaign for NYC mayor.
Heather Podesta, Invariant CEO, said Bailey will help “our CEOs and business leaders break through the noise in Washington and around the country.”
