ABOUT BRADLEY COOPER

I am a political strategist and government affairs professional who advises executives and elected officials at all levels of government and politics. At HBS, I provide strategic counsel on legislative, regulatory, and political matters, including education, tax policy, and high-stakes controversy. I have advised Members of Congress, presidential appointees, governors, Fortune 500 companies, public and private universities, trade associations, and nonprofits.I previously founded a Missouri-based consulting practice, The Cooper Company, after serving key roles in Missouri Governor Mike Parson\'s political operation and Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe\'s first statewide campaign. In my practice, I worked as a key political advisor for Members of Congress, statewide elected officials, members of the Missouri House and Senate, and the Missouri Republican Party. I was also the chief strategist for several PACs and nonprofit entities.I was appointed by Governor Parson and confirmed by the Missouri Senate to the Missouri State University Board of Governors, becoming the youngest person in Missouri history to hold the student seat on a university governing board. I was the first student member to serve on the Board’s executive leadership team, leading the hiring process for the university system\'s 12th President and overseeing several major construction projects, including Roy Blunt Hall. I graduated summa cum laude with a degree in socio-political communication from Missouri State University.I’ve worked at the intersection of policy and politics across every level of government, from statehouses to the U.S. Senate. I leverage that breadth to develop winning strategies that deliver for clients, no matter the political arena.
