Emily Seidel is an American conservative political strategist and nonprofit leader serving as the current President and CEO of Americans for Prosperity (AFP), a prominent libertarian-leaning advocacy organization backed by the Koch network. She assumed this role on September 1, 2021, succeeding Tim Phillips, and oversees AFP's national operations, strategic direction, and grassroots efforts to promote free-market policies, limited government, and individual freedoms. Under her leadership, AFP has engaged in high-profile campaigns on issues like tax reform, deregulation, and opposition to certain progressive policies, mobilizing millions of supporters across the United States.

Seidel joined AFP in 2012 as Vice President of Operations, advancing to Executive Vice President before her promotion to CEO. Prior to AFP, she spent over a decade at Koch Industries, where she worked in government affairs and public policy roles, focusing on advocacy, coalition building, and organizational development. Her career emphasizes behind-the-scenes influence in conservative policy circles, with a track record of scaling advocacy efforts at both state and federal levels.

A native of Kansas, Seidel maintains a relatively low public profile, prioritizing operational leadership over media appearances. She is recognized within conservative networks for her expertise in nonprofit management and policy strategy.
