Before entering government, Zients was an executive at firms including the Advisory Board Company and CEB. Zients joined the Biden administration after taking leave from his position as chief executive officer of Cranemere, an investment firm. He was a member of Facebook's board of directors from 2018 to 2020.[4]
After college, Zients worked in management consulting for Mercer Management Consulting (now Oliver Wyman) and Bain & Company. As a consultant, Zients reportedly enjoyed the “culture, teamwork … and analytical rigor".[11] After management consulting, he was appointed the chief operating officer of DGB Enterprises, a holding company for the Advisory Board Company, Corporate Executive Board, and Atlantic Media Company.[12]
Zients founded and was the managing partner of Portfolio Logic LLC, an investment firm primarily focused on health care and business services.[14] He was a member of the board of directors of XM Satellite Radio until its 2008 merger, and a board member at Sirius XM Radio until his Senate confirmation.[11][16] Zients also sat on the boards of Revolution Health Group and Timbuk2 Designs.[15]
Baseball
In 2005, Zients formed a group with Colin Powell and Fred Malek, among others, to compete for the purchase of the Washington Nationals.[17][18] The group planned for Malek to be the managing partner for the first three years, after which Zients would take over.[18] The group was unsuccessful; the team was purchased by a group led by Ted Lerner.[14]
According to Obama, his assignment was to help "streamline processes, cut costs, and find best practices throughout" the U.S. government.[20] His nomination was approved by the Senate in June 2009.[22][23] As DDM, Zients established and chaired the President's Management Council.[24]
Zients was the acting director of OMB from July 2010 to November 2010, and again from January 2012 to April 2013.[25][26][27]
Healthcare.gov
Following the error-plagued launch of healthcare.gov on October 1, 2013, Obama and White House chief of staff Denis McDonough asked Zients to take charge of fixing the website.[28][29][30][31] While leading the "tech surge" to do that, Zients also had an ownership position in PSA Healthcare. The position of the White House was that Zients's stake in PSA Healthcare, a pediatric home health business, was not a conflict of interest.[28]
At the NEC, Zients worked with the Department of Labor to finalize the fiduciary rule, also known as the conflict of interest rule. It required financial advisers to provide advice in their clients' best interest. The rule was strongly criticized by Wall Street leaders and business groups and was struck down by a federal appeals court in 2018.[34][33]
In 2015, while NEC director, Zients described the Trans-Pacific Partnership as "a massive tax cut for American businesses".[35]
Return to the private sector
Facebook
Zients joined Facebook's board of directors in 2018, following the Cambridge Analytica scandal.[36] While on Facebook's board, Zients chaired the Audit and Risk Oversight Committee.[37][38] According to Facebook, he declined to seek re-election in 2020 "to devote more time to his business and other professional interests".[39] Zients was paid $100,000 in cash and roughly $300,000 in stock in exchange for his work on Facebook's audit committee.[38] As of December 2020, Zients had reportedly sold all of his holdings of Facebook stock.[38]
Cranemere
Zients was the CEO of the Wall Street investment firm Cranemere, an investment firm owned by Vincent Mai, for which he earned a combined salary and bonus of $1.6 million.[33][40] As of December 2020[update], Zients was on leave from his position as chief executive officer of Cranemere.[33]
In addition, Zients was an investor in the D.C.-based bagel deli startup Call Your Mother.[41]
Biden administration
In summer 2020, Politico reported that Saguaro Strategies, a media and consulting firm, heavily edited Zients's Wikipedia article as he became more prominent in the Joe Biden 2020 presidential campaign. For example, Zients had advocated for the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which faced left-wing opposition, but the edit gave Zients's argument that it was "the most progressive trade agreement there’s ever been." It eliminated an Obama official's comment that he thought Zients was a Republican.[36]
As of October 2020[update], Zients was co-chair of the presidential transition of Joe Biden.[42] He was described as "an important power center in the Biden transition team" and noted as a candidate for several positions in the incoming administration.[33] On December 7, 2020, the Biden transition announced Zients's presumptive appointment as coordinator of the COVID-19 response and counselor to the president.[43] The absence of any comprehensive COVID-19 vaccine distribution plan at the time of the handover from the outgoing Trump administration became an urgent priority for Zients after the inauguration on January 20, 2021.[44]
In July 2021, Zients came under criticism for delaying the relaxation of travel restrictions between the US and Europe.[45]
In March 2022, Zients announced he would be leaving the Biden administration in April, to be succeeded as Coronavirus Response Coordinator by Ashish Jha.[46]
Zients was mentioned in an antisemitic flyer that originated in Australia in July 2022. The conspiracy theory posited that he and other Jewish people are part of a cabal responsible for COVID and a "COVID agenda".[47]
