Peter Brown is a nationally recognized advisor to Democratic campaigns, non-profits, and advocacy initiatives. As a founding partner of the Strategy Division and the Executive Director of the Climate Democracy Initiative, Peter leads campaigns and organizations that drive impactful change.

In his twenties, Peter balanced legislative work on Capitol Hill with pivotal roles in political campaigns, including high-level positions on presidential campaigns. These experiences taught him the vital connection between grassroots activism, strategic communications, and effective policy implementation—a philosophy that has guided his career ever since.

With an MBA under his belt, Peter initially worked in management consulting in New York City, helping corporate and non-profit clients shape their communications strategies. This experience underscored the importance of being fully invested in one’s work, a lesson that ultimately led him to start his own consulting firm specializing in campaign and advocacy communications.

Since then, Peter has been at the forefront of issue advocacy, leading initiatives like the successful campaign to ban fracking in New York. His innovative direct mail and digital campaigns have earned him over a dozen national awards, and he has consistently ranked among the top political consultants in New York. As the chief strategist behind Kathryn Garcia’s NYC mayoral campaign, Peter set a new standard for ranked-choice voting strategy and execution.

In addition to his political and consulting work, Peter founded Mission:Clean, a non-profit focused on improving municipal sanitation and composting to combat climate change.

Peter is also a competitive squash player and an enthusiastic hiker, exploring the mountains with his wife, Leonor, and their dog, Naia. He divides his time between Colorado and New York.
