A leading voice at the intersection of Wall Street and Washington DC, Daniel Rudder advises on a broad range of policy/regulatory issues and their impacts on capital markets, with deep expertise in national security, counterterrorism and defense.
Daniel has spent over two decades solving the toughest problems and driving outcomes in support of investment, corporate strategy and national security objectives.
He most recently led the investment research department at one of the world's largest multi-strategy investment managers.

Daniel began his career as an investigative reporter and assistant editor for The Cambodia Daily in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Daniel received his Bachelor of Arts in Religion and Anthropology, and Master of International Affairs in International Security Policy, both from Columbia University.
