Jennifer Linker

With nearly two decades of Public and Government Affairs experience at Exxon Mobil Corporation, one of the largest and most successful integrated energy companies in the world, Jennifer has deep policy expertise across a range of issues in the energy, climate, and industrial space. She has advocated before government in Washington, DC and the European Union in Brussels, and understands how policy and politics intersect, and the local, national and global contexts in which they converge.

Through years of building bipartisan relationships on Capitol Hill, Jennifer has seen how good energy and climate policy runs into the wall of bad politics. She has successfully lobbied on policy issues including energy, tax, low carbon technologies, climate change, global energy development, corporate governance, and foreign affairs.

Prior to her corporate career, Jennifer was the policy coordinator for Senator Evan Bayh’s (D-IN) exploratory presidential campaign.

Jennifer grew up in South Florida, and received degrees from The University of Michigan and the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) at The Johns Hopkins University. She loves to travel, and has lived in France, Japan, Italy, and Belgium.

Steve’s career has been at the intersection of politics and policy, advocacy and communications – from the halls of Congress to the energy sector. Over the last decade, he has led public and government relations campaigns for two of the world’s largest natural resources companies. At Exxon Mobil Corporation, he served in a number of government relations, coalition building, and corporate communications roles. And at Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. (ADM), one of the world’s largest agricultural commodities, nutrition, and biofuels companies, he led energy and decarbonization advocacy.

Steve led policy and communications work at the Marcellus Shale Coalition, a regional natural gas trade association based in Pittsburgh. He cut his teeth in Washington on the other side of government relations – as Capitol Hill staff for former Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH), where he served in Boehner’s personal congressional, committee, and leadership offices.

Raised in northeast Ohio, Steve holds degrees from Xavier University in Cincinnati and The Johns Hopkins University’s Carey School of Business.
