Prior to joining NTI, Choudhary was the Program Director of the Peace and Security Collaborative at ReThink Media. There, Choudhary managed a team of communications professionals providing strategic communications counsel, media training, and messaging guidance to experts and NGOs working to advance sensible policies on nuclear weapons, the Pentagon budget, drones and targeted killing, and endless war.
