LaBolt has been a communications strategist for the past decade on campaigns at the city, state, and national level, on Capitol Hill, and in the White House. He has advised Fortune 500 companies on how to transform communications efforts to be more proactive and agile, defend brands under siege and tackle significant customer and public policy initiatives. His previous work includes serving as the national press secretary for President Obama’s reelection campaign, press secretary for then-Congressman Sherrod Brown’s campaign for Senate, communications director for Rahm Emanuel’s campaign for Mayor and White House spokesman for the efforts to confirm Justices Sotomayor and Kagan to the Supreme Court.

Gibbs has helped companies across a multitude of industries to create and implement communications strategies grounded in research and data and built for long-term success. A core member of the team that built the Obama brand from the ground up, beginning in 2004, when then-Senator Obama was a first-term legislator from Illinois, Gibbs previously served in several senior roles for President Obama, including White House Press Secretary—a role in which he developed communications strategies for the White House and served as the Obama administration’s primary voice on a wide range of complex issues. The New York Times called Gibbs the "president’s political compass."
