Susan Rice (57) – Washington, D.C.

There has never been a time when Susan Rice has not been remarkable. Right from her undergraduate days at New College, Oxford, where she was a Rhodes Scholar, it was clear that she would go on to do great things.

Rice started out her political career in 1993, serving on President Bill Clinton’s National Security Council staff. By 1997 she had become assistant secretary of state for African affairs at the State Department. With such a great career trajectory, it’s not surprising that in 2021, she became the Director of the United States Domestic Policy Council.
