Antony Blinken Biography

Antony J. Blinken served as the 71st Secretary of State of the United States from January 2021 to January 2025. A seasoned diplomat and foreign policy expert, Blinken’s career has spanned decades, marked by an unwavering commitment to advancing American interests, restoring alliances, and promoting diplomacy as the cornerstone of international relations.

Blinken worked closely with Presidents Clinton, Obama, and Biden in senior roles including as Deputy Secretary of State under President Obama from 2015 to 2017.

Before serving as Deputy Secretary of State, Blinken was Assistant to the President and Principal Deputy National Security Advisor to President Obama. In that capacity, he chaired the inter-agency Deputies Committee, the administration’s principal forum for formulating foreign policy. During the first term of the Obama Administration, he was National Security advisor to then-Vice President Joe Biden. Blinken served for six years on Capitol Hill (2002 – 2008) as Democratic Staff Director for the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee under then-Chairman Biden.

Blinken was a member of President Clinton’s National Security Council staff at the White House from 1994 to 2001. From 1999 to 2001, he was Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for European Affairs – President Clinton’s principal advisor for relations with the countries of Europe, the European Union, and NATO. From 1994 through 1998, Blinken was Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Speechwriting and then Strategic Planning, overseeing foreign policy planning, communications, and speechwriting and serving as President Clinton's chief foreign policy speechwriter.

Blinken began his government service at the State Department where, from 1993 to 1994, he served as Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of State for European and Canadian Affairs.

After leaving the Clinton Administration, he was a Senior Fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies between 2001 and 2002. After leaving the Obama Administration, he co-founded WestEx Advisors, a strategic advisory firm.

Prior to joining the Clinton Administration, Blinken practiced law in New York and Paris. He has been a reporter for The New Republic magazine and has written about foreign policy for numerous publications including The New York Times (where he was a contributing opinion writer), The New York Times Magazine, and Foreign Affairs. He is the author of "Ally Versus Ally: America, Europe and the Siberian Pipeline Crisis." Blinken attended grade school and high school in Paris, France where he received a French Baccalaureat degree with high honors. He is a graduate of Harvard College Magna cum Laude and Columbia Law School.
