Bruno thrives on challenges: he ran his first marathon at age 16, completed an Ironman, compressed six years of university into four, was the sole foreigner at a martial arts club in Japan, and learned Spanish to communicate with his wife’s family.

Raised bilingual by an American mother and a French father in a small rural town in France, Bruno studied Economics and International Relations at Tufts University. He spent 18 transformative months at Keio University in Japan, marking the beginning of his global career.

His professional life has revolved around analyzing and resolving complex challenges, in international strategy consulting, entrepreneurship, and investment management. For 20 years, he has focused on industries that are at the center of the climate crisis. Currently, he channels his passion for the environment by supporting startups that pioneer innovative solutions to tackle climate change.

Bruno and his spouse Mercedes live in Park Slope where their children attended public schools. They have been members of the Food Coop for 25 years. Following months of voter canvassing for Joe Biden and other Democrats, Bruno came to realize that winning elections in swing states is critical but that political reform stands as the ultimate solution to hyper-partisanship.

Strategy consultant for five years, helping US companies develop and implement their global expansion plans.
More than two hundred years of peaceful transition of power and, until recently, the ability of members of different parties to work together.
Yes, but it is even more beneficial to have a rich mix of diverse representatives by ethnicity, gender, religion, and professional background.
An antiquated electoral system which is overwhelmed by money and special interests and becoming less and less representative. The result is the election of candidates which only have the support of a minority of the electorate, the reward of extremism rather than negotiations, and the inability for Congress to resolve pressing societal challenges.
No, ideally four would be better, as it would provide more time for representatives to focus on their jobs rather than on fund raising required for reelection.
The House should monitor the work of the Administration to achieve two goals: to ensure the rule of law and to make it more effective. Investigative powers are unfortunately being abused to exclusively mark political points.
