Kathrin Belliveau ’93
Global Player: As Chief Policy Officer of the New-York based Toy Association—the trade organization of manufacturers and retailers in the US toy industry—she oversees global regulatory affairs and representation, toy safety standards, and marketing and strategic communications. Sustainability Pioneer: During her 25-year career at Hasbro, she launched the industry’s first global toy recycling program and led a drive to eliminate plastics from toy packaging. Keeping Toys Tariff-free: “Tariffs and trade are the number one issue right now. I’m spending a lot of time engaging with the Trump administration and leading a global coalition from China, Mexico, the EU, and Southeast Asia to keep toys—that have historically not been tariffed—tariff-free and affordable for children around the world.”
Takiia Anderson ’99
Veteran Investigator: With 15 years of experience in civil and criminal investigations at the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination and the US Department of Labor, and with expertise in human resources, she oversees employee relations and investigations for the US operations of Genpact, a global business-process management company. People-focused: Working remotely, she handles employees’ complaints from pay disputes to workplace discrimination and allegations of professional misconduct. “My company is very focused on AI. But you can’t take the human out of employee relations—these are human beings with feelings. What’s rewarding for me is knowing that I can clarify things that are confusing to a lot of people, put things into plain English, and make it make sense.”
Jason Langberg ’09
Civil Rights in Education: After seven years as a legal aid lawyer and nearly 10 years as a civil rights attorney in the US Department of Education, Langberg last year joined the K-12 Education Unit in the Colorado Attorney General’s Office. As Senior Assistant Attorney General, he works on state civil rights initiatives that he sees as becoming “increasingly necessary as federal protections and structures are dismantled.” Justice for Vulnerable Students: “One of my clients is the Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind. It’s been a thrill for me to work with them and help them best serve their students. In a time of attacks on public education, helping public schools repel those attacks and build strength is important to me.”
Graham Markiewicz ’16
Think Tank Rethink: A military veteran, passionate peacemaker, and national security policy professional, he founded the Security and Democracy Forum (SDF) in Washington, DC, in February 2025. This independent nonpartisan nonprofit aims to build a broad coalition to promote peace, security, and democratic resilience. “I don’t just want to be another think tank in DC—I want SDF to be something people can talk about in college dorms and over Thanksgiving dinner.” Security for a Free Society: “I think we can have strong national security, but in a way that is thoughtful and protects our democracy—and that means having oversight, having guardrails, a commitment to transparency and freedom. We have to keep sight of the reason for our national security, or we’ve already lost.”
