In 1984, he founded Campus Televideo, a company that provides cable and satellite services to college campuses and grew to serve over 400 of America's largest colleges and one million college students across the nation.
Lamont also got involved in public service shortly after college, founding a weekly newspaper in a town hit by the loss of its largest employer. Later, as a member of both the Greenwich Board of Selectmen and the Board of Estimate and Taxation, he worked in a bipartisan effort to safeguard a multimillion-dollar budget and deliver results for constituents. For four years, he also served as Chairman of the State Investment Advisory Council, overseeing a multibillion-dollar state pension fund.
Lamont was Connecticut’s democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2006 but lost the election to incumbent Joe Lieberman. After the election, he served as a teaching fellow at the Harvard Institute of Politics. and the Yale School of Management. He then became an adjunct faculty member and chair of the Arts and Sciences Public Policy Committee at Central Connecticut State University, where he was named Distinguished Professor of Political Science and Philosophy.
