Jamie Gorelick
Jamie Gorelick's career spans the legal, corporate and public policy landscape. A litigator by training, she is a partner at Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr in Washington, where she heads the Defense, National Security and Government Contracts Practice. She was a member of the bi-partisan National Commission on Terrorist Threats Upon the United States, or the 9/11 Commission, whose recommendations have produced a major restructuring of our intelligence community. For this service she was well-prepared by virtue of her work in three of the most relevant environments: the Defense Department, where she was General Counsel; the Justice Department, where she served as Deputy Attorney General (the number two position in the Department); and the intelligence community, where she spent many years on the National Security Advisory Panel. She also has a long-standing interest in cyber-security, having co-chaired the Advisory Committee of the National Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection.
