'Ice Maiden' makes history: Trump names Susie Wiles as first female White House Chief of Staff- All about her

Campaign Strategist Who Led Trump to Victory Breaks Glass Ceiling in Historic Appointment

In a groundbreaking move that marks a significant shift in White House history, President-elect Donald Trump has named Susie Wiles as his incoming White House Chief of Staff, making her the first woman to hold this prestigious position in U.S. history.

A strategic appointment

Trump announced the historic appointment with high praise for his longtime strategist, stating, “Susie is tough, smart, innovative, and is universally admired and respected.” He added, “Susie will continue to work tirelessly to Make America Great Again. It is a well-deserved honor to have Susie as the first-ever female Chief of Staff in United States history.”

From behind the scenes to center stage

Recently spotlighted during Trump’s victory speech at Mar-a-Lago on November 5, Wiles earned the nickname “ice maiden” from Trump, who noted her preference to “sort of stay in the back.” Despite her low-profile approach, her impact on the 2024 campaign was anything but subtle.

Political pedigree

The daughter of NFL player and sportscaster Pat Summerall, Wiles’s political journey began in the 1970s in the Washington office of New York Rep. Jack Kemp. Her extensive Republican strategy experience spans decades, with notable achievements including:

Campaign success

Under Wiles’s leadership, the 2024 Trump campaign achieved several key victories:

The ‘Ice Maiden’ approach

Living up to her nickname, Wiles maintains a notably different public profile from many political operatives. She rarely appears in television interviews and seldom makes speaking engagements, contrasting sharply with her more outspoken campaign co-manager, Chris LaCivita. However, associates note her capacity for decisive action when necessary.

Historical significance

This appointment carries particular weight given previous criticism of Trump’s attitudes toward women. As the first major appointment of his upcoming second term, it represents both a historic milestone and an early indication of his administration’s direction.
