“
Throughout my time in state government and preforming research, I always saw the Volcker Alliance’s work in state and local finance as instructive and timely to today’s governance. I am extremely eager for the opportunity to join in the work and continue to elevate the mission of the Alliance in the world of public finance.” -- Adam Ciampaglio

“I believe I have a responsibility to positively affect the character and composition of our government. I’m deeply fortunate to be at an organization where I can honor that call. Serving alongside this committed team dares me to envision – and enact -- my best contributions.” -- Andrew Mekhail
Adaobi Oguagha joined the Alliance in February 2022 as a program associate. Ms. Oguagha comes to the Alliance from the New York State Governor’s Office, where she worked as an excelsior fellow and policy advisor in the education portfolio.

“I'm excited to be part of the magnificent work the Volcker Alliance is already doing, and to bring my expertise and passion to the table. Now, more than ever, it is vital that we support the pipeline for future leaders in public service. I am looking forward to working with our partners at Schmidt Futures to attract young technologists to government. We need innovative, forward-thinking minds to help shape and strengthen our democracy and I am proud to be part of the solution.” -- Adaobi Oguagha
