Past roles also include Director of Government and Community Affairs at The Doe Fund, a New York City nonprofit that designs, develops and manages affordable and supportive housing, operates three transitional homeless shelters, and runs a work training program for homeless and formerly incarcerated men. In addition, he served as head of the political and economic affairs team at the British Consulate-General in New York, where he promoted and defended the United Kingdom’s economic and foreign policy and national security priorities in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Windrum has a master’s degree in international relations from Johns Hopkins University and a bachelor’s degree in political science and Spanish from Lafayette College.
