David Tennent, CEO and Founder of CNCT.
Text saying 'MEET -the- FOUNDER'.

David is a former Congressional Staffer (2019-2022) who left Capitol Hill to launch CNCT on March 18, 2022. Driven by a desire to modernize Congress, he sees CNCT as a platform to centralize social and professional opportunities for political staffers. David is deeply committed to fostering bipartisanship by helping staffers realize the common ground they share.
