Ashish PRASHAR

A charismatic political strategist, human rights activist, TEDx speaker
and award-winning executive, Ashish is known for flipping the script and
winning over the toughest adversary. He’s elevated companies to the
highest level, transformed lackluster teams into top performers, and
produced successful start-up fundraises and launches. He’s also a
passionate proponent of social justice, launching award-winning prison
reform campaigns that produced legislative change.

Ashish began his career in journalism and moved over to politics,
working for the Conservative Party, and becoming the youngest press
secretary ever for the Mayor of London in 2008. The Middle East Peace
Envoy Tony Blair later tapped him to join his team as an advisor. During
his time with Blair, Ashish created and launched an innovative
micro-lending campaign for small businesses in the West Bank,
Palestinian Territories. He also provided strategic counsel to Obama and
Biden’s Presidential Campaigns, focusing on getting out the vote among
the formerly incarcerated community.

Ashish then brought his political acumen to the private sector where he
provided counsel to multiple start-ups and ran communications at Ipsos
and Publicis Sapient. In 2021, he joined R/GA as the Global Chief
Marketing Officer, where he successfully catapulted the agency to number
2 on AdAge’s Top Ten Creative Agencies list after a four-year absence.
He was also named to AdAge’s 40 under 40 in 2022. Most recently, he
created and launched multiple campaigns for human rights, focused on
accountability of leaders and power brokers. He continues to provide
strategic, marketing and communications counsel to start-ups and other
companies and organizations.

Ashish is a Fellow at the Royal Society of Arts and sits on the Board of
Just Leadership and the Responsible Business Initiative for Justice.

Ashish has appeared as a regular commentator in media outlets, including
