During his time leading Americans for Informed Democracy from 2002 through 2007, Green built a network that includes more than 23,000 members, created partnerships with leading think tanks, NGOs, businesses and foundations, and raised over one million dollars for the organization's programming. Prior to founding AID, Green worked at The American Prospect, The Brookings Institution, Taxpayers for Common Sense, and Lazard Freres.

Green has been a speaker on international affairs and youth activism at the U.S. House, U.S. Senate, World Bank, United Nations, Associated Press, and other leading institutions.

For his leadership on global affairs, he received Search for Common Ground's award for International Understanding.

Green is a frequent contributor to the media, having served as a guest on C-SPAN's Washington Journal, the Montel Williams Show, CNN, and MSNBC, and written op-eds for the Christian Science Monitor and Miami Herald. Green is a core contributor to the Partnership for a Secure America's Across the Aisle blog. In addition, his work with AID has been featured by hundreds of publications, including the New York Times, Washington Post, Associated Press, Chronicle of Higher Education, and Marie Claire.
A Marshall scholar, Green graduated summa cum laude from Princeton University and earned masters degrees in Development Studies from the London School of Economics and in Women's Studies from Oxford University. He recently completed a JD degree at Yale Law School, where he was named an Olin Fellow by the Center for Studies in Law, Economics, and Public Policy.
