Miscellaneous
Over the last three decades, Ron Klain has literally been in the room for many of the biggest political moments of the last three decades—from Clarence Thomas’ controversial Supreme Court confirmation process to Al Gore’s hanging chads to Barack Obama’s efforts to combat a deadly epidemic. Heralding from the Hoosier state, Ron graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School and is widely considered to be one of the foremost legal and political minds on the left side of the aisle today. As a result, he has amassed a long and distinguished record of service—including serving as a clerk to the Supreme Court, leading the confirmation processes of multiple Supreme Court justices, playing a senior role behind the scenes on multiple presidential campaigns, serving as a close advisor to two presidents and the chief of staff to two vice presidents, and leading the federal government’s response to the Ebola virus. But it’s not just politics! Ron has also had an extensive career in private law practice, serving as a partner and National Practice Group Chair at O’Melveny & Myers LLP. He currently works as the Executive Vice President and General Counsel at the venture capital firm Revolution LLC. And perhaps most notably, he is our only guest to have been played by Kevin Spacey in a major motion picture. If you want to learn more about Ron, visit our website at www.partypeoplepodcast.com.
