A veteran political operative, Ron Klain has been picked by US President-elect Joe Biden to be White House chief of staff.
Before this development, Mr Klain served as a top aide to Mr Biden since the 1980s in the Senate and later when he was vice-president, BBC reports
Going memory lane, Mr Klain has not only worked with Joe Biden, but has also worked as a senior White House aide to Barack Obama and chief of staff to Vice-President Al Gore.
