CEO, author, and media commentator, Joshua DuBois is one of our country’s top voices on community partnerships, issues impacting African Americans, and religion in the public square. Joshua led the White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships under President Obama. In the White House he brought together community leaders from across the ideological spectrum to tackle some of the nation’s biggest challenges. Joshua is now CEO of Values Partnerships (valuespartnerships.com), one of the country’s top social impact agencies, and Gauge (gauge.ai), a new platform connecting brands and organizations navigating our fast-changing culture with the diverse cultural-leaders charting its future. He is a frequent media commentator on CNN and author of the bestselling book, “The President’s Devotional: The Daily Readings that Inspired President Obama,” a compilation of the devotional meditations he shared with the President and narratives of faith in public life.

I’m passionate about creating partnerships that solve problems. My consulting firm, Values Partnerships, helps nonprofits, foundations and private companies partner with grassroots leaders – faith-based and secular – to meet organizational goals and solve big challenges. That work led me to found Gauge.ai, a tech platform that pipelines the brilliance in communities to top decision-makers at brands, organizations, and other institutions of public life.
