WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) announced today the addition of three new members to its growing economic policy team.
Diana Carew, Jason Gold and Anne Kim are the latest to join PPI’s roster of experts, which includes Chief Economic Strategist Michael Mandel, Economic and Domestic Policy Director Scott Thomasson and Senior Fellow Paul Weinstein.
Economist Diana Carew most recently served as a policy analyst at the Export-Import Bank of the U.S., where she analyzed the relationship between exports and U.S. jobs. Carew’s work at PPI will focus on globalization and innovation policy issues for the Production Economy Project.
Senior Fellow Jason Gold joins PPI from Third Way, where he was a senior fellow for housing and financial services policy. A 17-year industry veteran, Gold will be directing PPI’s “Rethinking U.S. Housing Policy Project,” a new initiative focused on the intersection of housing policy and the broader economy, housing finance reform and post-crash housing policy.
Senior Fellow Anne Kim, a PPI veteran, is returning to the organization after serving as Deputy Chief of Staff and Legislative Director to Rep. Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.) and as the Director of the Economic and Domestic Policy Programs for five years at the centrist D.C. think tank Third Way. In her prior work at PPI, she directed the Work, Family and Community Project.
“Diana, Jason and Anne bring a wealth of knowledge, expertise and policy experience to our extraordinarily talented economic team,” said PPI President Will Marshall. “I am delighted to have them join PPI, as we work to frame a new growth strategy for progressives during this critical economic time.”
