Just back from my first #Davos. I wrote about what I saw, what gave me hope, and what must come next.

To master the future, we need bold action at the intersections: AI + industry, purpose + power, capital + community.

2025 tested all of us.

From AI and economic opportunity to education, family, and the future of work, I’ve been reflecting on a year of paradox and progress.

🚀 Read my full 2025 reflection + what I’m building in 2026 at the Kapor Center and beyond

📚 In a year as turbulent as 2025, a few books helped me see more clearly — not just what’s happening now, but what’s always been true.

Congratulations to my good friend Dr @brockforatlanta on her victory Atlanta Public School Board last night. I know that kids always come first for her and Atlanta is lucky to have her

Proud to help launch the Maryland Transfer Promise at this year’s Maryland Higher Education Summit.

Every community college student in MD should have a clear, affordable, and barrier-free path to a 4-year degree. This is how we build mobility—and dignity.

This week, I stepped into a new role as the inaugural Head of Innovation & Strategy at the Kapor Center. My prime focus will be scaling gap-closing startups that use cutting-edge technology to tackle some of America’s most urgent challenges—from the future of work and economic mobility

Honored to keynote this year’s @CompCollegeUSA Convening in Maryland.

We talked:
• Just-in-time vs. timeless skills
• Strategic partnerships, not pipelines
• Building a student-ready, future-ready system

Thanks to the CCA team for an energizing room and powerful mission.

MacKenzie Scott donates $50M to Bowie State University The billionaire philanthropist has given $50 million to Bowie State University, the HBCU's largest gift in school history.

MacKenzie Scott gives $50M to Bowie State, marking her 3rd major gift to Maryland HBCUs

Honored to speak at the @BlackMenVote Stakeholders Summit on the “K–12 to Career” panel w/ @TamirDHarper & DC school board member @Jacque4DC.

Also great connecting w/ NJ Lt. Gov.-elect Dale Caldwell. The future of education is the future of work.

Grateful to @theNASciences for inviting me to speak on a panel about the future of the U.S. research enterprise.

We discussed how to:
• Fix a fragmented system
• Train talent at the pace of tech
• Rebuild trust in science

These questions are urgent. This dialogue was a real step forward.

Back at @CFR_org to hear my home state Senator Chris Van Hollen
3 key takeaways:
1. Strength abroad starts with strength at home
2. Our values are our greatest strategic asset
3. The next geopolitical frontier: the industries of the future—and the workers behind them

Big thanks to @dcstartupweek for having me and @DonBeyerVA for a keynote fireside on the promise + peril of AI for workers, business, and the country.

This is one of the most urgent convos of our time—and it was powerful to have it with DMV’s next-gen builders.

Honored to moderate a panel on business + the future of work at the 1st American Swiss Foundation Innovation Forum at Harvard.

100+ leaders joined—including 16+ state labor secretaries. The work ahead is urgent. The future belongs to those building it now.

#FutureOfWork

Grateful to celebrate 10 years of the Presidential Leadership Scholars program this week.

The best part? Reuniting with my family by choice—leaders who live their values every day and make me better just by knowing them.

Here’s to the next 10. #PLS10

Proud to walk this weekend with my family in the Every Step Counts Autism Walk.

Investing in neurodiverse people isn’t just right—it’s smart. We don’t have a single person to waste.

#AutismStrongMD

Two of my heroes, at #UNGA:

• Amb. Nick Burns—40+ years of service across parties, and a mentor who still sent a note the week I got married.
• Acting Labor Sec. Julie Su—champion for workers, and the one who made me take every day of paternity leave.

America needs more leaders like them.
