On Wednesday, President-elect Joe Biden appointed Revolution cofounder Ron Klain to White House chief of staff.

Founded in 2005, Revolution is an investment firm cofounded by prominent investor Steve Case. This bit of hiring news wasn’t included in our reporting this week, but it’s important to note since Klain, who is a lawyer by training, served as Revolution’s executive vice president and general counsel until this month. Klain has previously worked with the future president when he served as Biden’s chief of staff from 2009 to 2011 while Biden was vice president. He’s also the former chief of staff of Al Gore when he served as vice president. Klain has worked in various other governmental roles, including as the White House Ebola Response coordinator in late 2014 and early 2015.

“We applaud Ron’s decision to return again to public service, and wish him all the best as he takes on this task,” Case said in an Instagram post congratulating Klain. “We are of course sorry to lose him, but we’re more optimistic about getting through the pandemic and building back better knowing Ron will bring his many talents to bear to support our new President and serve the nation.”
