Who is Founder & CEO Jonathan Lovitz?
Lovitz Strategies launched in 2022 to bring Jonathan's decades of experience at the intersections of business, public policy & government, media, and community advocacy to help companies, nonprofits, and community networks make a difference.
Jonathan Lovitz is a nationally recognized leader at the intersection of economic empowerment, public policy, and impactful communications—driven by one core mission: to build a more inclusive, equitable, and prosperous future for all.
In 2023, President Joe Biden appointed Jonathan to the senior leadership team at the U.S. Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration (EDA). brought both policy expertise and lived experience to the table—ensuring that underserved communities are not just included in conversations about growth, but centered in the solutions.
That same year, he was honored as one of Out Magazine’s OUT100, joining the ranks of artists, activists, and visionaries who are rewriting the narrative for LGBTQ+ people around the world.
Jonathan’s impact reaches far beyond the walls of government. As the former Senior Vice President and Special Advisor at the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), he led the charge in passing over 25 bipartisan state and local laws that opened billions of dollars in economic opportunities for small businesses—especially those owned by LGBTQ+ individuals, veterans, people of color, and people with disabilities. His efforts also secured major federal partnerships and changed how America does business with minority-owned enterprises.
Building on that legacy, Jonathan launched Lovitz Strategies, a consulting firm that empowers governments, corporations, and nonprofits to embed diversity, equity, and inclusion into the heart of their work. A trusted strategist and communications expert, he has advised leaders at every level and is a sought-after speaker for institutions ranging from NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense to the United Nations and The Trevor Project.
Jonathan is also a familiar voice in national media, appearing regularly on MSNBC, CNBC, NPR, and Bloomberg to advocate for bold, inclusive solutions to the biggest challenges of our time. Whether speaking on economic justice, healthcare access, gun safety, or the fight to protect voting rights, Jonathan brings clarity, conviction, and compassion.
Throughout every chapter of his career, Jonathan has never lost sight of what matters most: the people. His work is a call to action—for leaders and everyday citizens alike—to stand up, speak out, and ensure that no one is left behind in the story of America’s success. “Let’s make a difference,” he says. And when Jonathan Lovitz says it, he means it.
