Carri Twigg
Carri Twigg is the Founder and President of American Story™ — a strategic studio for cultural influence and democratic renewal.
A former White House official who served as Special Assistant to President Obama and Director of Public Engagement for Vice President Biden, Carri brings rare fluency in the relationship between media, politics, and culture — and what that relationship means for real people in the real world.
Her work as a producer and cultural strategist has spanned Netflix, Disney+, MTV, BET, NowThis, and beyond. She has built and consulted on multiple strategic cultural movements, including Schools Not Prisons, Save The Day, and the #BehindTheVote Campaign.
As President of American Story, Carri is bringing everything she has built — the relationships, the craft, the conviction — to the largest stage of her career. Premium entertainment that carries democratic values through story. Content that meets America where it lives, and reminds it of what it is still capable of becoming.
She has spent a career proving that culture change is possible.
American Story is where she hopes to prove it at scale.
