Glenn Nye is the President & CEO of the Center for the Study of the Presidency & Congress (CSPC), a nonpartisan think tank aiming to educate future public policy leaders while serving as an honest broker between the White House, Congress and the Private Sector. He convenes and leads discussions on key strategic issues, including national security and global competition, federal branch relations, and reforming our political system to be more functional and responsive to the American people, and focuses on developing the next generation of American leaders.

Nye served Virginia’s Second Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives where he distinguished himself as a legislator willing to work across the aisle, particularly on security and economic issues important to Virginia.

He served on the Armed Services, Veterans, and Small Business Committees, chairing the Small Business Subcommittee on Contracting and Technology. He was commended for consistent support of a pro-growth economic environment based on a vibrant middle class and investment in future generations, strong national security, anchored in Virginia’s military family and contractor community, and support of veterans- earning the endorsements of the VFW, educators, business groups, and firefighters. He championed structural reforms to enhance the effectiveness of government and civility among citizens, including nonpartisan redistricting and government spending reforms.

After serving in Congress, Nye engaged on technology issues, educating the policy community in the areas of data analysis and personal data privacy. He served on the board of directors of iMMAP, a data analysis and mapping company serving the international development community, and the board of advisors at FiscalNote, a government transparency software company.

After graduating from the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service, Nye spent his early career as a U.S. diplomat serving the State Department and USAID in the Balkans, Southeast Asia, Afghanistan and the Middle East. He was recognized with a Superior Honor Award for brokering the release of an American held hostage by insurgents in Macedonia and supported negotiations for the U.S.-Singapore Free Trade Agreement. He also led economic and political stabilization operations supporting counterinsurgency projects in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Nye is a member of the Congressional Leadership Council of the “Fix the Debt” campaign. Nye has written and led discussions on politics, security, and digital technology issues as a Senior Fellow at the German Marshall Fund of the U.S., a trans-Atlantic think tank.

Nye continues to focus on curating the American political system and institutions to promote a more cooperative and functional, less divisive politics that will set the United States up for another 250 years of persistently renewing and improving democracy.
