High-stakes messages, communicated with strategy and delivered with impact.
Mintaro Oba brings years of policy and communications experience across the Obama and Biden administrations, two federal agencies, an international organization in the UN system, and the private sector to his work as a speechwriter and communications strategy consultant. He most recently served as Chief Speechwriter to then–Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona.
He has shaped strategic and creative messaging at the highest levels — writing speeches and op-eds for leading politicians, CEOs, and non-profit leaders on topics from artificial intelligence to global economics.
His speeches have been delivered in venues from the White House to the Vatican, in countries from Japan to Zambia. In 2019, he was named one of forty Asian American rising stars in national security and foreign policy, and he has received multiple honors for his work on U.S. diplomacy at the State Department. In 2020, he co-founded Speechwriters of Color, an organization advocating for writers and communicators of color.
