Lanny Davis

Lanny Davis appears in Parker Conrad on Zenefits, Rippling, and Building Through Crisis through Parker Conrad’s account of the Zenefits aftermath. Conrad describes Davis as a crisis-PR figure associated with aggressive media fights and says David Sacks hired him during the conflict.

The source uses Davis as part of the Founder Reputation Recovery story: Conrad says the media campaign was not only defensive but personally damaging, and that it shaped how investors, reporters, and the startup community interpreted him while Rippling was starting.
