Matt Plaus

Business/Policy Analyst

United States

I’m a policy professional with experience spanning government, communications, and development. Over the course of my career, I’ve worked for the General Services Adminstration, Peace Corps, and various academic and media organizations, building expertise in research, policy writing, and risk and compliance.

I earned my Master in Public Policy from the Harvard Kennedy School, where I was Editor-in-Chief for the HKS Student Policy Review.

I enjoy tackling complex problems, bringing people together, and creating lasting impact through thoughtful policy and organizational change.
