Jeffrey D. "Jeff" Zients (born November 12, 1966) is an American chief executive officer, management consultant and entrepreneur. From February 2014 to January 2017, he served as Director of the United States National Economic Council and President Obama's Economic Advisor. Zients previously served as the acting director of the Office of Management and Budget.
Zients's assumption of the role of Director of the National Economic Council was delayed by his acceptance of an assignment from President Barack Obama to fix the problems of HealthCare.gov. Zients is widely credited with salvaging HealthCare.gov, and has come to be referred to as "Mr. Fix-It" within the Obama Administration.
Zients was raised in a Jewish family and is a native of Kensington, Maryland, and lives in the Washington, D.C. area. He graduated in 1984 from St. Albans School and earned a Bachelor of Science degree, summa cum laude from Duke University. Zients worked in management consulting for Mercer Management Consulting and Bain & Company until his appointment as chief operating officer of DGB Enterprises, a holding company for the Advisory Board Company, Corporate Executive Board and Atlantic Media Company.
