Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: When John Thibault was still in college at Ryerson University, he knew he had something to say, that he had to do something to make a difference in the world. But that “something” hadn’t yet taken shape. After receiving his MFA degree from UCLA, he was offered a full-time position in Government Relations at Universal Studios, MCA. It was then that he got to interface with Congressmen and Senators and their staff, administration, heads of state, civic leaders, and state legislators. He received a first-hand lesson in political persuasion at the highest level, learning about issues, policy, Federal Election Commission reporting, Fair Political Practices Commission compliance, working with lobbyists, fundraisers, electioneering, security details, and protocol. He recognized the experience was invaluable but was still searching for his “one big thing” that he was meant to do. After leaving Universal Studios, MCA, John’s fascination with Internet technology led him to a young eBay, where he served as the first Vice President of Business Development & Marketing. From there he served as the first Vice President of Marketing at Financial Engines. It was during this time, by 1996, that his mission became crystal clear, and his combined fascination with Internet technology, influence and politics resulted in How To Change A Law and the founding of iLobby.co. “Americans needed to understand what Washington insiders have taken for granted. Voters needed to recognize that laws affect every aspect of our lives, that public policy matters!” Today, John is the CEO of iLobby. Several magazines have features John’s work, including Association News, Manufacturing Today, CEO for High Growth Ventures and Millennial Magazine. During his free time, John enjoys skiing and most recently, fly boarding. He lives with his wife and three children in Northern California.
