Christopher Barnes serves as the Chief Product Officer and Managing Director of Financial Services for Escalent. Recruited to position the company for a successful merger, I have most notably built a team of 80+ financial service researchers advising industry-leading clients on market research related to consumer and public opinion. Prior, I served as Senior Advisor to the Chairman of the Democratic Caucus, U.S. House of Representatives, where I played a key role in shaping legislative and policy concepts for Caucus Members to sponsor and advised on issues related to the ACA, Wall Street Reform, Climate Change, and Transformation and Infrastructure. While serving as Managing Partner for Pulsar Research and Consulting, I conducted high-profile polls featured on NYT, CNN, and within TIME Magazine. My background has additionally included co-founding two research centers informing public policy while at the University of Connecticut, including the Center for Survey Research & Analysis which has evolved into a leading academic survey center and research facility.
