Libby Greer is a Senior Vice President of Cauthen Forbes & Williams. Before joining the firm, Ms. Greer served nearly eight years as Chief of Staff to Congressman Allen Boyd (D, FL-2). In that capacity, she directed the legislative and political operations for Boyd, including staff in Washington, DC and Florida. Additionally, she implemented Congressman Boyd’s work as Co-Chairman for Administration of the Blue Dog Coalition in the 110th Congress, directing a group of 47 fiscally conservative Democrats. In that role she developed political strategy; crafted a fiscally responsible, pro-growth legislative agenda; and facilitated outreach to key allies in Democratic and Republican leadership, across the different caucuses of Congress, and in the U.S. Senate. In previous Congresses, she aided Boyd’s efforts as Co-Chairman of the Blue Dog PAC, shepherding its growth from roughly $250,000 in contributions to over $2.6 million. Along the way she volunteered on numerous congressional and legislative races around the country.
Prior to joining Boyd’s congressional staff, she worked from 1999-2001 as a Senior Finance Consultant with the DC-based firm of Kimball Stroud & Associates. Her clients included numerous Members of Congress, Senators, and Gubernatorial candidates, as well as the non-profit Citizenship Education Fund and the Creative Coalition.
An active volunteer role on the Clinton-Gore coordinated campaign in Birmingham in 1996 led to Ms. Greer’s first job in politics, first as a field director then finance director for the Alabama Democratic Party in 1997 and 1998. From there she joined Cauthen & Associates as a Managing Director, consulting on a variety of issues and serving as a volunteer fundraiser for Vice President Gore’s presidential campaign before moving to Washington, DC in 1999.
Ms. Greer has a B.A. in English from Birmingham-Southen College, where she graduated with a distinction in Leadership Studies in 1998. She is a native of Birmingham, Alabama.
