Craig Montuori is a sought-after consultant for community-based development of cities' innovation economies and an internationally-recognized policy and political strategist on behalf of the early stage-startup community. Over the past 10 years, he represented individual companies, coalitions of top venture capitalists and startup executives, and innovation communities at engaging Congress, Executive branch departments, and the White House. He is one of the top US lay experts on entrepreneurial immigration and through his work partnering with cities across America to leverage international entrepreneurs to boost new American business formation, attract over $580m in venture capital into the American heartland, and drive the creation of hundreds of American jobs. Craig was called to action by tech leaders during the early days of the COVID crisis and cofounded a response organization to meet spiking demand for protective gear amidst collapsing supply lines, where he served as a chief of staff converting an emergency volunteer organization into a more robust response group as the crisis continued. The C19 Coalition assisted with the delivery of over 1 billion units of protective gear across America before handing off operations to the Biden-Harris Transition Team. Published in the Harvard Business Review, his work has also been covered in the New York Times, CNN, NPR, and Bloomberg Business. He has been interviewed by reporters from a variety of top publications, including Politico, the Wall Street Journal, and TechCrunch. Invited to speak internationally on entrepreneurship and immigration trends and issues, he has provided thought leadership and strategic insights throughout Asia, Central America, Europe, and the Middle East.
