Naomi Seligman

Naomi Seligman is the president of Tower26, a strategic communications and public affairs agency and the former director of communications for Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. She transforms leaders and organizations into powerhouses of influence. Her hard-hitting strategies have put clients on the map for over 25 years, in a career spanning both coasts and the very different worlds of Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles.

She has led hugely successful local, state, and national campaigns for advocacy organizations, elected officials, mission-driven corporations, tech innovators and entertainment industry luminaries, through robust partnerships, cutting-edge tactics, creative marketing and media buzz.

In her political advocacy work, she has helped end the careers of some of the most corrupt members of Congress, targeted the NRA and its allies, exposed front groups covering for corporate interests, and rooted out conservative misinformation in the media.

Naomi was the media force behind the defense of outed undercover CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson and her husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson — and built and directed the communications operations for Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and Media Matters for America.

She has worked extensively on Capitol Hill and has continually fought for those who needed a voice throughout her career.
