Radha is a seasoned advocate, with deep experience in state, federal, and international policy work, and has worked on advocacy campaigns focusing on economic and social justice. 

Most recently at SaverLife, as the inaugural Policy Director of the organization, she built an agenda to address the root causes of inequality and economic insecurity, centering those who are directly impacted. She built advocacy strategies that had 60+ press mentions in one year, built partnerships with the US Treasury, White House, multiple Federal Reserve banks, many other federal and state officials, and much more. 

As the National Policy Director for Tom Steyer’s presidential campaign, Radha built a bold policy agenda to address the way in which Americans build wealth, while fostering a network of supporters, organizations, and advocates committed to similar goals.

Most recently at NextGen Policy, she worked on legislative campaigns in California, working closely with large and diverse coalitions to advocate for policies and programs that promote economic justice and opportunity throughout the state, including a first-in-the-nation Bill of Rights for student loan borrowers.

Radha has co-authored reports to Congress on jobs and the US Recovery Act, established a $5 million charitable foundation for former Google employees, and worked with the World Bank on developing a more comprehensive understanding of poverty. 

Radha holds a Master’s degree in Public Policy from Georgetown University, a Certificate in International Management from Oxford University, and a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from UC Berkeley. She is fluent in Tamil and proficient in Spanish. When she is not doting on her cat, you’ll find her roaming the cliffs of Northern California beaches or the local farmer’s market.
