Tyler Harris has successfully shaped and implemented strategic goals and mentored leaders in environments ranging from small, even sole-owned, businesses to publicly traded companies and major institutions.

His private-sector experience includes developing strategies for the US payments division of an FTSE 100 company for the underwriting and management of over $100 million of credit risk, as well as building out alignment with multinational corporate objectives and cascading goal setting from management to front-line staff. He left the corporate world in 2012 to found and operate his own consultancy in the merchant services industry, and established a proven track record of helping other small businesses grow and thrive by aiding them in better understanding and defining their own business operations.

In the political space, Tyler has been involved with campaigns and political organizing for over 22 years. Beginning as a youth organizer during the 2000 presidential campaign, he has accumulated a wealth of experience in political fieldwork over the past two decades, both with establishment and alternative political parties and candidates. He served for four and a half years on the staff of the Libertarian National Committee, including as national Executive Director for the Libertarian Party from 2020 to 2022 – effectively overseeing the national operations of the third-largest political party in the United States.

During that time, he helped personally instruct hundreds of Libertarian leaders around the country in effective strategic planning and goal setting. He served under four national chairs, assisting each of them in establishing and executing their unique national strategic visions. And finally, he cultivated and mentored one of the most successful and professional staff organizations in the party’s history.

In 2022, Tyler founded Open Flank Strategies, to bring his expertise in strategic planning and management to organizations and campaigns in wider Libertarian and independent spaces.
