Hired Julie Radford as Chief of Staff

In April 2017, Julie Radford was appointed as Chief of Staff to Ivanka Trump following Ivanka’s transition into her role as Senior Advisor to President Donald Trump in the White House. Radford brought prior experience from the private and public sectors, including work as a consultant at Goldman Sachs and service in the administration of President George W. Bush. Her recruitment was supported by Dina Powell, who was serving as Deputy National Security Advisor at the time. As Chief of Staff, Radford played a central role in coordinating Ivanka Trump’s policy initiatives and day-to-day operations within the White House. Her work focused on advancing programs related to women’s economic empowerment, workforce development, and education. These efforts included supporting initiatives that aimed to expand job training opportunities and increase participation in the labor force, both domestically and internationally. Radford remained in the role throughout Ivanka Trump’s tenure in the administration, contributing to policy development and interagency coordination. Her position placed her among a group of senior aides involved in shaping and implementing aspects of the administration’s domestic and international agenda tied to economic participation and workforce issues. Following the conclusion of the Trump administration in January 2021, Julie Radford transitioned into roles in the private sector. She became a founding partner at R6 Consulting, a strategic advisory firm. In April 2025, she was appointed Chief Communications and Corporate Affairs Officer at Bumble Inc., where she oversees global communications, brand strategy, employee engagement, and public policy functions as of 2026. #JulieRadford #IvankaTrump #WhiteHouse #USPolitics #Leadership
