Thomas Jonathan Ossoff, an American politician, born on February 16, 1987, has been Georgia’s senior senator since 2021. Ossoff, a Democrat, has worked as an investigative journalist and a documentary filmmaker in the past.

Ossoff served as managing director and CEO of Insight: The World Investigates (TWI), a London-based investigative television production firm that collaborates with journalists to produce films on corruption in other nations from 2013 to 2021.

The company conducted BBC investigations on East African death squads and ISIS war crimes. Ossoff worked on a documentary on a play performed in Sierra Leone.

Ossoff previously received an inheritance from his grandfather, a former co-owner of a Massachusetts leather factory, for an undisclosed sum, of which he used $250,000 to co-fund Insight: TWI with Ron McCullagh, the founder of the company and a former BBC reporter, whom Ossoff first met when he was 16 years old during a family trip to France and with whom he maintained contact after that.
