New Delhi: Indian-American Maju Varghese has been appointed as the Director of the White House Military Office under US President Joe Biden's regime.
Earlier he was the Chief Operating Officer of his campaign during the election.
Under his current role, he will oversee military support, which includes providing medical support, emergency medical services, and presidential transportation and organising official ceremonies and functions.
Earlier he was with former President Barack Obama as his special assistant and the deputy director of advance.
Varghese later became assistant to the president for administration and management overseeing the White House complex in the Obama administration.
As the COO of the Biden-Harris campaign, he ran the logistics for the nationwide, multi-million-dollar effort, mobilising tens of thousands of staff and volunteers.
He successfully steered the inauguration through two difficult problems: the coronavirus pandemic and the threat of attacks after the January 6 Capitol riots.
The ceremony and events like the star-studded "Celebrate America" concert that featured singers Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi and Justin Timberlake, and hosted by actor Tom Hanks had to arranged around the two dangers.
