John Brennan
CIA Director (2013-2017)

Previously, Brennan served at the White House for four years as assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism and helped coordinate the U.S. government’s policies for responding to terrorism, cyber-attacks, natural disasters and pandemics.
Brennan spent most of his early career in the CIA’s main analytic arm, the Directorate of Intelligence, specializing in the Near East and South Asia before directing counterterrorism analysis in the early 1990s. In 1994 and 1995, he was the agency’s intelligence briefer to President Bill Clinton.
After an assignment as a Chief of Station in the Middle East, Brennan served from 1999 to 2001 as Chief of Staff to George Tenet, who was then Director of Central Intelligence. Brennan next worked as Deputy Executive Director of the CIA until 2003, when he began leading a multi-agency effort to establish what would become the National Counterterrorism Center. In 2004, he became the center’s Interim Director. After retiring from the CIA in 2005, Brennan worked in the private sector for three years.
He has served our country in every administration from Reagan through Obama.
