Kevin Maloney is chief public affairs officer at Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs. As a member of the Council’s senior leadership team, he oversees the planning and execution of the institution’s community engagement, content development, and public programming strategies across key issue areas at the intersection of ethics and international relations.
Maloney also hosts the Values & Interests podcast, which examines ethical tensions and tradeoffs at the heart of decision-making in geopolitics and is co-lead of the Council’s Illiberal Narratives & Shifting Values project. He first joined the Council in 2021 as director of communications after spending a decade at public affairs consultancies, where he advised clients in the policy, professional services, higher education, and nonprofit sectors.
Maloney holds a BA in political science from Fordham University and an MA, with distinction, in global security from King's College London. In concert with his role at the Council, he is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Governance and Global Affairs at Leiden University in The Hague, where his research aims to map and compare the values systems and related foreign policy narratives of post-Cold War U.S. presidents.
