Jeffrey Berk

New York,NY

Summary

A 25-year career at the intersection of high-stakes finance, market innovation, and cultural impact—leading sophisticated financial solutions for elite global brands, building dominant retail businesses in competitive environments, and founding two nonprofits to serve vulnerable communities. In 2023, I was encouraged by both the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) and the New York State GOP to consider a U.S. Senate run based on my public advocacy, strategic instincts, and media leadership. The experience sharpened my commitment to defending Western values, confronting cultural decay, and advancing pro-Israel policy. My aim now is to bring that same bold, forward-looking voice to AFPI’s fellowship program—as a mission-aligned, high-impact contributor to its most culturally consequential work.
