Courtney Cardin

Co-Founder, Aura Finance

Courtney is the co-founder of Aura - an inclusive financial wellness and investment platform designed to help individuals understand their money mindset and gain the confidence to put their money to work. Courtney spent more than a decade working at the intersection of politics, policy, and finance to develop and implement place-based, regenerative economic models to promote innovation and entrepreneurship.

Courtney has over a decade of experience building coalitions and strategic partnerships with civic organizations, community leaders, influencers, and companies to promote sustainable brands and progressive causes, candidates, and policies.

In 2020, Courtney directed Power the Polls' coalition of more than 400 business, nonprofit, and influencer partners that successfully recruited more than 710,000 people to sign-up to work the polls for the 2020 election amidst a global pandemic.

In 2019, Courtney moved from Washington, DC to Melbourne, Australia, and launched impact consulting business, BC Global Partners with fellow ROIer and Clinton campaign alumn, Sarah Bard. BC Global Partners serves clients in the U.S., Australia, Israel, and The Bahamas advising investors, entrepreneurs, and developers on sustainable investment, growth strategies, and the development of impact narratives.

Courtney is also a co-founder of the Blue Action Lab -- a proving ground for developing, testing, and scaling Blue/Green technologies and solutions. The Blue Action Lab's scalable model is designed to help coastal communities and low-lying islands around the world recruit and retain leading sustainability entrepreneurs, invest in education and workforce development, and empower coastal communities to participate in the emerging Blue Economy and thrive in the face of climate change.

A trained attorney with a focus on antitrust and congressional investigations, Courtney previously represented Fortune 500 clients in private practice and served as Senior Counsel for the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Counsel for the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary, and an attorney for Secretary Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.

Courtney received a B.A. in International Studies and a B.A. in Jewish Studies from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia and her J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center.
