Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrittany Bennett is a data-driven technology leader and current CTO at Working Families Party, combining 11 years of nonprofit leadership with five years of hands-on technical expertise to drive AI innovation, analytics, and digital security for electoral and organizing work. She built modern data stacks from scratch at multiple organizations—shipping dbt, Prefect, and Hex-based infrastructure that endured cycle-to-cycle—and scaled a one-person team into a seven-member Data Department spanning Analytics, Engineering, and Product. Previously she led Sunrise Movement’s data and electoral targeting work, enabling a 12-organizer team to reach 2.5 million voters and introducing software-engineering practices like version control and testing into political data programs. She’s known for translating messy movement and campaign data into robust models (including a novel “Orbit” engagement model) and operationalizing experiments such as a GAIN IDEA–winning relational postcard program. Based in Pittsburgh, she pairs technical leadership with practical community-building—running an accessible political data blog and expanding training access via partnerships that lowered barriers for political data professionals. Outside of work she’s a novice home chef and cohabits with her pair programmer and a cat named Muffin, a detail that signals her collaborative, curiosity-driven approach.
