Rollie Olson

Rollie Olson, Assistant Director of Alignment & Strategic Communications, President’s Office, provides research, editorial, and strategic communications support to Eboo Patel to help amplify his public voice and advance his thought leadership. Before joining the team, Rollie spent five years working for Congressman Dean Phillips (MN-03), both in his election and as Congressional staff focused on stakeholder outreach, constituent services, and finding common ground with constituents across backgrounds and ideologies. After a stint in Christian mission work abroad, he earned degrees in International Relations and Political Science from Bethel University and a Master of Public and Nonprofit Administration from Metro State University in St. Paul, MN. Rollie is motivated by Interfaith America’s vision to build a healthy, religiously diverse democracy and believes in using the public square as an avenue to serve our neighbors, even if we disagree with them.
