27. 杰瑞米•伯德

•  年龄：35

•  职务：创始合伙人

•  任职公司：270 Strategies

    伯德出身卑微、在圣路易斯市外的活动房屋长大，后来却成为巴拉克•奥巴马2012年总统竞选的全国现场指挥官。他把技术与现场组织融为一体，从而确保在9个总统选战战场中的8个战场中赢得了胜利（同时也为奥巴马赢得了第2个总统任期）。伯德创建了新公司270 Strategies后变得专注利益，开始把奥巴马竞选活动中的魔法运用到公司利益、非盈利组织和政治运动领域领域。例如，这家公司雄心勃勃的项目德克萨斯州战役希望让这座孤星之州临阵倒戈。

27. Jeremy Bird

•  Age:35

•  Title:Founding Partner

•  Company:270 Strategies

    Bird rose from humble beginnings—he was raised in a trailer park outside St. Louis—to become national field director of Barack Obama's 2012 campaign. He merged technical wizardry with on-theground organizing to secure wins in eight of nine battlegrounds (and a second term for the President). Bird's gone mercenary with the new firm, offering the Obama campaign's magic to corporate interests, nonprofits, and political campaigns. One ambitious project: Battleground Texas, an effort to tilt the Lone Star State blue.
