Zients was also the director of the National Economic Council from February 2014 to January 2017. From January 2021 to April 2022, he served as both Counselor to the President and Coordinator of the COVID-19 response in the Biden administration.

In January 2023, he made major headlines when he was officially designated to serve as the Chief of Staff at the White House. He will replace Ron Klain, who has run President Biden’s White House since the president took office 2 years ago.

Ron Klain (the current White House Chief Of Staff) will step down after the State of the Union address on Tuesday, February 7, 2023. Sources say the change at the top may bring about other shifts in the coming weeks ahead of the 2024 election.

Jeff Zients is an entrepreneur and management consultant who organized the largest vaccination campaign in American history. He’s regarded in the president (Biden) circles as a strong and capable technocratic leader.

However, sources say, he has little political experience to oversee a presidential campaign. His selection, therefore, suggests that the president could lean on Mr. Zients to help run the government while other advisers focus on the politics of winning a 2nd term.
