Cohen team at NEC

When I became the head of NEC, I hired a world-class team and faced the challenge of assembling the best people in various fields. Jeremy Katz, my deputy, played a crucial role in helping me make the right hires, including a tax expert named Shehera Knight. I was impressed by the talent and dedication of the individuals I met during interviews. Despite the financial limitations, they believed in me and the country. The NEC team had an excellent reputation. Additionally, my chief of communications, who had extensive experience in crisis communications, was instrumental in recruiting the right people. The peaceful transition of power is a fascinating process that requires building a team from scratch. Having knowledgeable and trusted advisors like Ashley, Lulu, and Jeremy was essential to our success. Their previous experience in the executive branch was a significant advantage. This advantage is worth discussing, using the TCJA as an example.
