Felicia Wong is the president and CEO of the Roosevelt Institute, where she directs the organization’s mission, vision, and strategy in pursuit of a high-care, low-carbon economy that works for all. She was the US representative on the G7 Economic Resilience Panel in 2021, served on the Biden-Harris administration transition advisory board, and currently serves as vice chair of the Treasury Advisory Committee on Racial Equity. Since Felicia joined the Roosevelt Institute in 2012, she and the team have quadrupled the overall budget and made Roosevelt a key collaborator with the nation’s top public officials, academic experts, and progressive movement organizers.

Felicia’s research focuses on post-neoliberal thought and the intersection of race, economics, and social stratification; her work has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Time, Democracy: A Journal of Ideas, and the Boston Review. She co-hosted the podcast How to Save a Country and is co-author of the book The Hidden Rules of Race: Barriers to an Inclusive Economy (Cambridge University Press, 2017).

Before joining Roosevelt, Felicia ran investment services for the Democracy Alliance and operations and product development at a venture-funded, labor union–aligned education services company. Her public service includes a White House fellowship in the Office of the Attorney General and a political appointment in the Office of the Secretary of the Navy. She serves on the boards of the Economic Security Project and Deep Springs College. Felicia holds a PhD in political science from the University of California, Berkeley.
