Jai believes that effective issues and crisis work starts with clarity, structure, and a deep understanding of how narratives form and travel.

Throughout his career, Jai has supported large, high-profile clients across labor, immigration, ESG, DEI, litigation, and executive leadership matters. His experience includes providing day-to-day issues support, media analysis, and strategic communications assistance to teams navigating complex reputational environments and periods of heightened scrutiny.

Jai is a graduate of the University of Southern California, where he studied American Studies with a pre-law focus and served as President of a registered student organization. He also completed a summer internship at a firm working to help retired NFL players secure their rightful retirement benefits.

A New Jersey native now exploring New York City, Jai is a lifelong New York Knicks fan and rarely misses a game.
