Albert Bryan Jr. is the ninth-elected governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands. He is an entrepreneur, non-profit executive, and tireless and compassionate advocate for the economic and political advancement of the people of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

A former commissioner of the Virgin Islands Department of Labor and Chairman of the Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority Board, Governor Bryan is boldly leading the U.S. Virgin Islands towards unprecedented economic growth and infrastructure expansion. The Bryan-Roach Administration is spearheading a multi-billion-dollar recovery and rebuilding effort to transform the territory’s critical infrastructure in the aftermath of hurricanes Irma and Maria.

In collaboration with the 34th Legislature of the Virgin Islands, Governor Bryan developed and implemented a plan that placed the Government Employees Retirement System, one of the country’s most underfunded public pension systems, on a path to solvency after more than 30 years of underinvestment. Bryan also boldly and effectively led the U.S. Virgin Islands through the COVID-19 pandemic keeping Virgin Islanders safe while protecting the territory’s tourism-driven economy from collapse.

Under his leadership, in FY 2024 the U.S. Virgin Islands achieved an unparalleled increase in the territory’s tourism economy, unemployment reached historic lows, massive hurricane recovery projects were undertaken and new homeownership programs were introduced.

Governor Bryan continues to make progress on his mission to lead the U.S. Virgin Islands to be number one in tourism, technology, and talent throughout the Eastern Caribbean.

He is the proud father of two daughters, Aliyah and Sumayah.
