About

Judd Olanoff co-founded K. Ventures and the Lion Forum in 2022. Before that, he spent his career in finance and politics. At J.P. 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. His writing has appeared in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, and Barron's, and he holds an MBA from Stanford and an MPA from Harvard. The common thread in his career has been harnessing innovation and policy to strengthen the fabric of America.
