Neha Gupta

Neha Gupta is Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel at Partners for Public Good (PPG), where she leads the organization’s strategy, operations, growth, and public affairs. Before helping to build and launch PPG, Neha served in senior roles across federal and local government, building a career at the intersection of law, policy, and innovative governance. Most recently, she was Associate Counsel to President Biden at the White House, advising on crisis response, implementation of major federal investments, and initiatives to strengthen intergovernmental collaboration.

Earlier, Neha served as chief counsel to major agencies in San Francisco, where she led legal and policy initiatives to achieve cash bail reform, streamline code enforcement, and guide the responsible adoption of AI-enabled technologies across city government. She also clerked for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Her focus on public-sector performance and institutional design is informed by a background in global public health and early-career work representing immigrants in deportation proceedings and domestic violence survivors, which sharpened her understanding of the human consequences of legal and administrative system design.

Neha holds a J.D. from Stanford Law School and a B.A. from Harvard University. She has served on several nonprofit boards and is a Non-Resident Fellow at the Urban Institute.
