  “The most rewarding aspect of working at Purple is the partnership and trust we develop with clients. The companies we work with are often facing high-stakes challenges with wide-ranging implications for their business, their employees, and the communities in which they operate. It is a privilege to help them navigate this dynamic business and political environment.” 

  “In my experience, the clearest and most intuitive ideas often require the most effort and skill to develop.” 

  “As a once-aspiring sports broadcaster who took a sharp turn toward politics, I’ve come to appreciate one common theme: Outcomes are determined by countless small moments that happen long before the kick-off, the election night, or the Floor vote.”
