WestExec Advisors LLC is a consulting firm founded in 2017 by Antony Blinken, Michèle Flournoy, Sergio Aguirre, and Nitin Chadda, all former Obama administration officials.[1][2][3] Lisa Monaco, Robert O. Work, Avril Haines, David S. Cohen, and Jen Psaki have also been WestExec employees.[4] Richard Stengel, former President Obama's Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs is a current employee.[5]
In an interview with The Intercept, Flournoy explained WestExec seeks to employ "people recently coming out of government" with "current knowledge, expertise, contacts, networks."[6] The firm and its partners avoid becoming registered lobbyists or foreign agents so that they can (re)enter government service without delays.[7] It does not disclose its clients, whose names are restricted from disclosure by non-disclosure agreements.[8] The firm is named after West Executive Avenue, a street near the West Wing of the White House.[8]
