The George Washington University's College of Professional Studies and Graduate School of Political Management have partnered with the Communications Board and Social Driver to bring you CHIEF INFLUENCER, a podcast that explores how today's successful leaders inspire and influence others.

Join GW alumnus, Anthony Shop, co-founder of Social Driver and Chairman of the National Digital Roundtable, as he interviews leaders across different sectors to uncover how they have become great leaders, communicators and, most importantly, Chief Influencers.

As ardent supporters of this partnership, CPS is fully committed to promoting and advocating for its significant message, fostering meaningful conversations, and actively engaging with our wider community by sharing valuable insights and expertise.

Dean Riddle stated, "We firmly believe that the Chief Influencer podcast perfectly aligns with CPS’ mission and values, and we are thrilled to extend our unwavering support to this dynamic and inspiring partnership.

During our August 28th in-person podcast, we were fortunate to have Sharon McBride, the Global Head of Mobilization at DoorDash and a longtime leader at eBay before that. McBride, a seasoned public affairs executive with extensive experience in politics and business, has demonstrated an unparalleled ability to connect communities and drive impact.

Host Anthony Shop commented, “Her remarkable achievements serve as a powerful reminder that individuals have the potential to be catalysts for transformative change, especially on Capitol Hill. She is an exemplary Chief Influencer."

"As a proud alumnus of The George Washington University School of Business, having the opportunity to host this event alongside GW was a dream come true," commented Shop.
