Zients, Jeff, 1966-
Variant namesJeffrey D. "Jeff" Zients (born November 12, 1966) is an American chief executive officer, management consultant, and entrepreneur. Zients is currently the President of The Cranemere Group. 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. According to Time's March 2014 cover story "Obama's Trauma Team", Zients is widely credited with salvaging HealthCare.gov. As a result, he was often referred to as "Mr. Fix-It" within the Obama Administration.
