About Jason Decourcy Barefoot
Founder of Dad//Citizen, a space where parenting and civicness come together. Dad//Citizen is a community designed to talk about navigating life as a modern parent: raising kids, holding a job, and trying to make our communities a little bit better. I\'m also a seasoned government affairs professional with extensive experience driving policy change at federal, state, and city levels, most recently serving as Director of the Federal Practice at Bolton-St. Johns. My advocacy work has secured hundreds of millions in new federal funding for underserved communities, established humanitarian immigration policies, and led coalitions of over 50 civil rights organizations. Before my government affairs career, I managed large-scale transformation projects for Fortune 100 companies at Accenture, where I led North America Inclusion and Diversity initiatives for my practice area. My unique blend of business acumen, policy expertise, and commitment to social justice is supported by degrees from NYU\'s Wagner School of Public Service and Emory University\'s Goizueta Business School. Skilled in Management, Teamwork, Data Science, and Analytics. Strong consulting professional with a Bachelor of Business Administration - BBA focused in Strategic Management from Emory University.
