Domonique James

Domonique James is the founder and CEO of Politics with Purpose, where she works with leaders, causes and corporations to raise their influence, secure media coverage and craft effective campaigns and initiatives that positively impact communities and the world.  An award-winning political and communications strategist, Domonique is an example of social impact done right — she's gone from a poor family to working for a US president, all thanks to an ecosystem of people, policies and programs that broke barriers and unlocked her potential. Her political career began as an organizer on President Obama’s campaign, ultimately serving as a White House Liaison to the Environmental Protection Agency. Before that, she was the Director of Business Development at Audience Partners (now A4 Media). There she oversaw nearly 200 campaigns in politics, issue advocacy and public affairs. Domonique’s cross-sector career includes clients and employers like First Data Corporation (now Fiserv), MillerCoors, Girls Who Code, Buzzfeed and Boston Globe Media.
