James Broussard is an American conservative policy expert best known as the founder and former president of the Institute for Policy Innovation (IPI), a non-profit think tank established in 1987 and headquartered in Irving, Texas. IPI focuses on advancing free-market principles, limited government, and individual liberty through research and advocacy on issues such as taxation, healthcare, technology, and economic policy. Broussard led the organization during its early years, establishing its reputation as a voice for conservative, market-oriented solutions to public policy challenges, with his work emphasizing reducing government intervention and promoting innovation to address societal needs. He was succeeded as president by Tom Giovanetti, who has continued to guide IPI's mission. While Broussard's tenure helped solidify the think tank's influence in conservative circles, detailed information about his pre-IPI career, personal background, or post-presidency activities remains limited in public records. His contributions have been cited in policy discussions, underscoring his role in shaping networks of influence within free-market advocacy groups.
