Susie Wiles

Susie Wiles fascinates me because she spent decades as the operator behind the curtain before becoming the first woman to serve as White House chief of staff. A Florida political consultant and lobbyist who got her start working for Jack Kemp straight out of the University of Maryland, she built a reputation for discipline in a field that rewards chaos. I find it telling that her power came from running campaigns rather than seeking office herself. Whatever your politics, reaching the very top of an organization by being the calm, unflashy fixer is a career arc I think is worth studying.
