Obama announced his choice to lead the White House budget office. As expected, Obama selected Sylvia Mathews Burwell, the president of the Walmart Foundation, (the charitable group). She worked for a long time at the Gates Foundation at a high level. She has also worked extensively in the Clinton administration.

Burwell worked on the Clinton-Gore presidential campaign in 1992, she became staff director for the National Economic Council under Robert Rubin, she followed Rubin to Treasury where she was his chief of staff before working as as deputy chief of staff under Erskine Bowles, and then she was deputy director of OMB under Jack Lew.

Educated at Harvard and Oxford, Burwell is only 47, she will play a pivotal role in cutting and spending, particularly as it concerns clean energy technology.
