Director of the Economic Program

Zach Moller loves a well-researched white paper and thoughtful economic policy. Whether it’s designing new ways to help American families have more opportunities, crunching numbers in Excel, or talking to media and policymakers, Zach is in his element on a wide variety of economic issues.

As the Director of Third Way’s Economic Program, Zach oversees a team that specializes in developing innovative policies on topics like paid leave, housing, apprenticeships, and retirement. He is also Third Way’s resident federal budget and appropriations nerd. His work has been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, MSNBC, NPR, and more.

Before Third Way, Zach worked on Capitol Hill and in federal fiscal policy. In his three years at the Senate Budget Committee, he worked on economic and revenue issues under Chairs Patty Murray and Kent Conrad, and then deepened his budget expertise as a Senior Policy Analyst at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. While at CRFB, Zach led work on budget process reform and was a specialist in data and charts.

Zach earned a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Florida, and he is a diehard fan of the Florida Gators. He later went on to earn a master’s degree in economics from the University of Virginia. He now lives in Arlington with his wife.
