WH Nominates Assistant Secretary of State

Donald Trump has nominated Michelle Giuda as an Assistant Secretary of State (Public Affairs). Since 2014, she has served as SVP of Global Corporate Communications at Weber Shandwick in NYC, where she oversees global communications strategy across 81 countries. Giuda was named one of the Outstanding 50 Asian Americans in Business by the Asian American Business Development Center in 2016. She previously served as Deputy National Press Secretary to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Communications Director for GOPAC in DC. She is a first-generation American. Her family fled Saigon just days before South Vietnam fell in April 1975. The 2007 UCLA graduate went on to earn an M.P.S. from George Washington University in 2009. Fun fact: as an undergraduate, Michelle won an NCAA Championship and captained the UCLA Women’s Gymnastics Team. See Trump’s other nominees here.
