Chay Komanduri

For more than 10 years Chay appeared on TV series, News, and Talk Shows, performed consulting work, as well as writing columns leading the way with the idea and motto that "instead of letting differences separate us, why not use these differences to bring us together." At UCLA, he has worked with, providing political strategy, to some of the most prominent Democrats of our generation including Barack Obama, the Democratic Nation Convention, The Democratic National Committee, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and General Wesley Clark. A political strategist, with connections to key influencers and decision makers at federal, state, and local levels of government, Chay has also organized companies affecting meaningful and lasting change. He has also secured hundreds of millions of dollars in crucial funding and united diverse political groups into singular and cohesive action. With a degree from the prestigious NYU, Chay draws upon the latest in psychology, evolutionary biology, and social science, as well as a wealth of knowledge in history, and philosophy to empower people to understand why they think and behave, and most importantly, react in certain situations towards people with differences. Building on centuries of this science and history, Chay helps people first understand why we react, to identify those feelings, and then understand how to change their mindset and behavior towards people who are different. He doesn't stop there, drawing on the lessons of history and philosophy, Chay is dedicated to showing that historically cosmopolitan societies yield the greatest civilizational achievements, not through isolation, but unification through diversity.
