Antony Blinken

From
Co-founder & Managing Partner
→
To
Secretary of State

Why this move matters

Co-founded WestExec Advisors with Michèle Flournoy in 2017 after leaving Obama's State Department. WestExec's client list included defense contractors and tech firms with national-security-adjacent products; the firm's senior advisors disproportionately rejoined Biden's national-security team in 2021 (the 'shadow cabinet' pattern).
