Trump’s new chief of staff is an unassuming figure in his brash inner circle. She’s also one of its most effective operators.

Susie Wiles is the first woman to hold the title of incoming White House chief of staff.

Wiles has operated in a sphere of discretion, wielding influence without the spotlight.

The 67-year-old is a strategist known more for quiet calculations than public-facing gestures.

Trump has given her a fitting moniker: “The Ice Maiden”.

Wiles sought assurances from Trump that she would have more authority than her predecessors in controlling access to the Oval Office , a source says.

Wiles, a veteran Florida political operative and lobbyist, has been a stalwart in Trump ’s political operation since his first campaign for president when she helped steer his campaign in the Sunshine State .

The daughter of late NFL sportscaster Pat Summerall , Wiles first entered politics as an assistant to US Rep. Jack Kemp .

Wiles was a constant presence by Trump ’s side throughout the race, traveling with him on nearly every campaign stop.

She oversaw an innovative operation that sought to find new Trump supporters in communities not traditionally receptive to Republicans or electoral politics.

DeSantis ultimately grew distrustful of Wiles , and accused her of giving favoritism to her clients.
