Morgan's investment bank, he advised the companies that shape the American economy. In 2016, he led finance briefings for the Clinton campaign. He is a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, where he argues that America's AI advantage depends not just on leading at the frontier, but ensuring that families across the country experience its benefits in their daily life.

The common thread in his career has been harnessing innovation and policy to strengthen the fabric of America.
