Charley is a writer, teacher, and facilitator who works at the intersection of technology and social change. He founded Untangled, a newsletter and podcast on technology, people, and power, and teaches at George Washington University on related topics.*

Charley has spent much of his career facilitating multi-stakeholder collaborations. He currently leads the Public Technology Leadership Collaborative, a new peer-learning collective of scholars, researchers, and government leaders committed to addressing the social and cultural implications of data and technology. Before that, he led the Disinformation Action Lab at Data & Society, which won the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public inaugural ‘Award for Excellence’ for its multi-stakeholder work on the 2020 Census. Once upon a time, he co-founded and ultimately led the Center for Digital Development at the U.S. Agency for International Development.

He’s a graduate of the University of Washington (Go Huskies!) and the Harvard Kennedy School. Most importantly, he’s an obnoxiously proud uncle.
