"The first person to believe in NationalField before we believed in ourselves was Jeremy Bird. He was a field director at the Obama campaign. We thought we built a social network just for us, just for the three founders to manage volunteers on the Obama campaign. And he was the one--he was the field director of Ohio--he said, 'Come out to Ohio; let's make it work here.' And that's the founding of NationalField; that's where it all really took off." -- Edward Saatchi

Edward built the online infrastructure for the Obama campaign in 2008 and modeled the NationalField product after it. He is the son of Maurice Saatchi of the Saatchi & Saatchi global advertising agency network. He claims that he works eighteen hours a day, six days a week, and lives out of a bag as he jets between offices in San Francisco, Washington and London.
