Biden confirmed that Jeff Zients, his close confidant and former Covid response coordinator, will be his new chief of staff.
01/27/2023 09:31 AM ESTPresident Joe Biden has named Jeff Zients, a close confidant and his former Covid response coordinator, as his new chief of staff.
Zients will take over the role in the coming weeks from Klain, with whom he has developed a close relationship and who is expected to step down early next month. Klain served as Biden’s top aide for more than two years, making him the longest-serving first chief of staff for any Democratic president.
After holding a number of high-level positions during the Obama administration, Zients was called by Biden at the beginning of his term. He left the White House in April after winning internal praise for his cross-government management skills and initial success in helping the administration bring the pandemic under control.
A former management consultant widely respected for his leadership skills, Zients was an executive at the Advisory Board Company, a Washington-based consultancy, before founding an investment firm that held stakes in a series of health care and financial firms. During the Obama era, Zients did multiple stints at the Office of Management and Budget as its acting director before being tapped to fix the botched launch of HealthCare.gov.

Zients succeeds Ron Klain, a longtime fixture in Biden’s political orbit who led the White House through its highs — passage of consequential legislation like the massive infrastructure bill and the Democrats’ climate, health care and tax law, as well as dozens of judges confirmed in the first two years — as well as its lows, such as the rocky withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. The transition is the first major personnel change for an administration that has had minimal turnover at its highest ranks and throughout the Cabinet.
