Just some of the WestExec consultants in high-level White House
positions
In a remarkable march through the revolving door, more than 15 members
of a boutique consulting firm have taken on powerful roles in the Biden
administration. Managing Editor Jonathan Guyer has been tracking the
consultancy WestExec Advisors for a year.
His latest report-co-published with The Intercept-provides the most
definitive guide to date of the corporate clients that Team Biden has
served. The story is part of Guyer's series The Influence Game
, which explores how
legalized corruption affects national security and foreign policy.
