Peter Morrissey is the Senior Director, Talent and Strategy, at The Volcker Alliance. In that role, Peter leads the Alliance’s work to strengthen the pipeline of rising leaders into public service careers and engage with governments to improve their systems of hiring and managing people. In 2023 and 2024, Peter was detailed from the Volcker Alliance to the U.S. Office of Management and Budget to support the implementation of the President’s Management Agenda and other federal talent issues.
Prior to his work at Volcker, Peter served as a staff analyst in Office of Management, Analysis, and Planning of the New York City Police Department. Peter holds a bachelor’s from Fordham University, a master of philosophy from the University of Cambridge, and a master of business administration from the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business.
With a collaborative, cross-agency lens and a commitment to engaging jobseekers where they live, the government can enhance its ability to attract talent while underscoring to Americans that the federal government is not a distant authority but rather a stakeholder in their communities that offers credible opportunities to serve.
The challenges facing our country require a robust pipeline of talented and representative rising leaders across federal agencies. The Presidential Management Fellows program has historically been a leading source of such talent.
