Connor Wakayama

Consultant

I am a project manager, relationship developer, and policy researcher committed to advancing solutions that ensure all communities have access to economic mobility. Through my experiences in the social sector and local government, I have developed a skillset that helps me support clients as they develop innovative programs to improve opportunity in their communities. Most recently, I worked as an Executive Analyst at the King County Office of Performance, Strategy, and Budget, where I advised department leaders on equity-focused technology investments and provided strategic guidance to support the development of the county’s Jobs & Housing Program. I began my social sector career at Year Up, a national workforce development nonprofit organization, where I launched multi-stakeholder partnerships to help underemployed young people start high-growth, living-wage careers.

I hold a master’s degree from the Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan and a bachelor’s degree in International Studies from Middlebury College.

What brings you to this work?

I have dedicated my career to supporting organizations that create better opportunities for individuals and communities. I am driven by a conviction that everyone should have access to the structures and supports that allow them to be economically independent, care for their loved ones, and contribute to the broader community.

What brings you joy in your life?

I enjoy connecting with the ocean through surfing and outrigger canoe paddling; exploring my heritage through the study of traditional Japanese arts; and immersing myself in world cultures through solo travel and learning foreign languages.
