A native of Appalachian Ohio, David Wilhelm is a firm believer in the idea that every individual should possess the tools to make the most of their God-given potential—and it is that idea that informs his business and political commitments. Wilhelm is an entrepreneur at heart—among the many start-ups he has launched or backed, he is the founder of Hopewell Ventures, Adena Ventures, and New Harvest Power, companies designed to bring sustainable job and wealth creation to the central Appalachian region and the rural Midwest. In the world of politics, Wilhelm is best known for his work as a manager of high-level campaigns, including the 1992 presidential campaign of William J. Clinton, and campaigns for Vice President Joseph Biden, the Mayor of Chicago, Richard Daley, and the late U.S. Senator from Illinois, Paul Simon. Upon his election, President Clinton nominated Wilhelm to serve as Chair of the Democratic National Committee. More recently, Wilhelm co-chaired the successful campaign to renew Ohio’s innovative “Third Frontier” job creation program and, in 2008, was one of the first superdelegates to support the candidacy of then-Senator Barack Obama for the presidency. Wilhelm is a graduate of Ohio University and Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. He is the recipient of honorary doctorates from Ohio University and the University of Charleston. He has taught at the University of Chicago and DePaul University and is currently a Visiting Professor at Ohio University’s Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs.
