Meet Carly Cooperman, the millennial CEO of one of NYC's top political consulting firms. She was the firm's first hire 13 years ago — her first job after college.

Carly Cooperman, 35, is the CEO and partner at Schoen Cooperman Research, a consulting and analytical firm based in New York City.

She studied political communications at George Washington University, and during her time in Washington DC, worked internships at NPR, Fox News, the Washington Post, on Capitol Hill, and at a political advertising firm. Here's how she worked her way up and landed big-fish clients along the way, from Mike Bloomberg to HBO.When Cooperman met Schoen in 2007, he was coming off a long tenure at top consulting firm Penn, Schoen & Berland, which he cofounded in 1977 with another famed political strategist, Mark Penn, who among other things,Previous clients for Schoen included former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates and former US President Bill Clinton.

At the time, she says, it was just Doug and his assistant, making her the new firm's first official employee. Schoen Cooperman played a big part in helping to uphold the ban on flavored e-cigarettes in San Francisco, a major Bloomberg initiative, and, also working with Bloomberg, helped the Democrats take back the House of Representatives in 2018. In 2018, she recalled, Bloomberg wanted to do whatever he could to help the Democrats win control of the House. Her consulting firm helped him identify about 80 swing districts and narrowed down 24 that were worth targeting with different ads.

Personal relationships are a big aspect of Cooperman's success in the field, she said, since most of her clients come from word of mouth. Apple, for instance, was referred to Schoen Cooperman by Richard Plepler, the former CEO of HBO, with whom Schoen Cooperman had worked as the media giant sought to launch its streaming service to compete with Netflix.

Another strategist, Saul Mangel, said Cooperman's friendliness has helped inspire the team to perform its best. "There is obviously the hierarchical relationship of her as the CEO," he continued. "But I know I can go to her informally and casually."
