Tallest Tree founder Cord Blomquist has been in the think tank world since 2005, when he was a Cato intern. After a brief stint as a hill staffer, Cord went on to lead the communications team at the Competitive Enterprise Institute and build the digital team at the Mercatus Center. Cord then partnered with web development expert Einar Jóhannsson to create Tallest Tree Digital, a consultancy focused on making public policy research more accessible and user-friendly. This unique background and specialization means that we understand the core problem think tanks face: communicating complex public policy ideas in a world where people have more and more options for high-quality information.
