President Joe Biden on Friday picked his former COVID-19 policy coordinator, Jeff Zients, to be the next White House chief of staff, citing his expertise in health care and the economy.
"I’ve seen Jeff Zients tackle some of the toughest issues in government," Biden said in a statement announcing the move.
"It's a choice I made and it's a break I need but it is bittersweet to leave behind so many people that I just care about so much," he told the network. Under Obama, he served as Director of the National Economic Council and Assistant to the President for Economic Policy. Before joining the administration, he spent 20 years in the private sector, including as a management consultant and as chief executive of Cranemere, a multibillion-dollar investment firm.
