About Jay Carney

Former White House Press Secretary for Barack Obama
Senior Vice President at Amazon
Global Head of Policy at Airbnb
James Carney, known as Jay, brings a wealth of experience from both the public and private sectors, making him a compelling speaker on media relations and crisis communication. With a career that spans journalism, government, and corporate leadership, Jay offers unique insights into the intricate workings of the White House and the challenges of global corporate communications. Jay's journey began in Washington, D.C., where he was born on 22 May 1965. He pursued his academic interests at Yale University, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Russian and East European Studies in 1987. This foundation led him to a career in journalism, where he served as a correspondent for Time magazine. During his tenure, he covered significant political events, including the collapse of the Soviet Union, providing him with a deep understanding of international affairs and media dynamics. In 2011, Jay took on the role of White House Press Secretary under President Barack Obama, a position he held until 2014. This role placed him at the forefront of national and international media, where he navigated complex communications challenges and honed his skills in crisis management. His experience in this high-pressure environment equipped him with invaluable insights into the intersection of media and politics. Following his service in the White House, Jay transitioned to the corporate world, where he continued to excel. He served as Senior Vice President of Global Corporate Affairs at Amazon, and later as the Global Head of Policy and Communications at Airbnb. In these roles, he managed communications strategies on a global scale, further solidifying his expertise in corporate affairs. Jay Carney's diverse background and extensive experience make him a sought-after speaker for those interested in understanding the nuances of media relations, crisis communication, and the interplay between government and corporate sectors.
