Courtney Lamie was one of the very first hires at Crosscut Strategies, and now as CXO, oversees the client experience.

Courtney ensures that clients’ needs are met quickly and to our highest standards, and she oversees account workflow and staffing. With deep experience in health care and technology built over her nearly two decades at the intersection of policy and communications, she has led work with a range of clients at Crosscut, from multi-state primary care providers, a precision oncology platform, and chronic disease management technology platforms to a cybersecurity company and a clean energy trade organization.

Courtney got her start working for her home district congressman and tech policy leader, U.S. Rep. Rick Boucher, from 2004 to 2010. Courtney served as Boucher’s press secretary and then communications director during his time as an Energy and Commerce Committee subcommittee chair. Prior to joining Crosscut, Courtney founded the communications department at the Application Developers Alliance, a non-profit global membership organization dedicated to supporting app developers, where she led national advocacy campaigns on patent reform and privacy working with members that ranged from start-ups to tech giants like Google and Samsung. Before that, Courtney worked in digital, grassroots, and policy communication at the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association.

A native Virginian, Courtney holds a Bachelor's degree in English from the University of Virginia and a Master’s degree in Journalism and Public Affairs from American University.
