Natalie Quillian will assume the role of White House deputy chief of staff, marking the latest staff shake-up following former chief of staff Ron Klain's exit.
Quillian served as deputy coordinator of the COVID-19 response and has been tapped by White House chief of staff Jeff Zients, who took the reins on Wednesday and worked with her previously while spearheading the COVID-19 task force.

“As my Administration implements the historic legislation we’ve passed, I’m calling on Natalie once more to help ensure we do the job efficiently and fairly,” President Joe Biden said in a statement. “She has my complete trust and faith to make sure we keep our promises to the American people.”
In her role, Quillian will serve alongside deputy chiefs of staff Bruce Reed and Jen O’Malley Dillon, both of whom have held their positions since the beginning of the Biden administration. Her focus will center on implementing Biden's agenda.
Zients cited his working experience with her and hailed Quillian for her track record, declaring there is "no greater talent."

“There is no one who works harder or longer and there is no doubt, if she is a part of something, it will be done — and done well,” Zients said in a statement. “I am extremely grateful Natalie will be a part of our White House team once more as we tackle the critical task ahead with implementation.”
Quillian's White House return comes amid several high-profile exits as Biden's economic adviser Brian Deese and Labor Secretary Marty Walsh are expected to depart soon. Deese served as Biden's top economic adviser for the first two years of the administration. Walsh is set to make his exit and helm the NHL Players’ Association, according to Politico.
