President Joe Biden has selected Annie Tomasini, a long-time aide and close advisor who manages his Oval Office, to serve as a deputy White House chief of staff.
Tomasini, known for her deep understanding of Biden, will succeed Jen O’Malley Dillon and take on additional responsibilities, including oversight of the president’s schedule, White House personnel, and operations.
“She knows how to get stuff done and works harder than anyone I know,” chief of staff Jeff Zients said.
“She’s a huge talent,” counselor to the president Steve Ricchetti said. “Amongst us all, I really do think she’s indispensable here to how we function inside the White House.”
Her background as a former college athlete and her previous experience working with Biden during his time as a senator and vice president have been highlighted as valuable assets for her new role.
“She’s got the mentality of a female athlete: confidence, poise, command and competitiveness, but a team player,” Susan Rice, said.
“There is no better human development program in America than college sports,” NCAA President Charlie Baker said.
