Joe Trippi, heralded on the cover of The New Republic as the man who "reinvented campaigning," began his political career working on Edward M. Kennedy's presidential campaign in 1980. In 2004, he was National Campaign Manager for Howard Dean's presidential campaign, pioneering the use of online technology to organize what became the largest grassroots movement in presidential politics. Through Trippi's innovative use of the Internet for small-donor fundraising, Dean for America ended up raising more money than any Democratic presidential campaign in history. Trippi's innovations have brought fundamental change to the electoral system and will be the model for how all future political campaigns are run.
Joe Trippi has been profiled in GQ, Wired, Fast Company, The New Republic, and The New York Times Magazine. He is an MSNBC political analyst and former Harvard University fellow. He currently heads the Washington, DC political consultancy, Trippi & Associates.
In addition to his work in politics, Trippi works with a number of high-tech companies including Wave Systems, Progeny Linux Systems, and Smart Paper Networks. He also authored a best-selling book: "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised: Democracy, the Internet and the Overthrow of Everything." |
