Jake Siewert is based in New York and is Managing Director and the Head of Global Public Policy and Political Risk at Warburg Pincus, where he also oversees the Sustainability Strategy group.

Bruce and Jake will provide an in depth look at the state of play in the election — where the race is and its drivers. As well, they will provide insights on what to expect initially from Trump or Harris — whoever assumes office, tied to an outline of what will happen with the new Congress.

The briefing includes a Q&A session with Bruce Wolpe.
