President Biden's incoming White House chief of staff, Jeff Zients, has faced criticism from progressive think tanks for his private sector past.
Zients held several positions in the Obama administration, including director of the National Economic Council from March 2014 to January 2017, before he returned to the private sector, sitting on the board of directors at Facebook and holding executive jobs at The Advisory Board Company and CEB. He has also worked closely alongside several of Biden's senior advisers and members of his cabinet. Jessica Chasmar is a digital writer on the politics team for Fox News and Fox Business.
