Dr. Kenneth R. Weinstein was President and CEO of the deep state think tank Hudson Institute until 2020. He was also a member of the Broadcasting Board of Governors, which manages the CIA's open media channels.

Career

Weinstein began his career as a researcher at Hudson Institute, before taking positions at the New Citizenship Project, the Shalem Center and the Heritage Foundation.[1] He rejoined Hudson in 1999, serving as director of Hudson's Washington office and its COO before taking over as CEO in 2005. Under Weinstein's leadership, Hudson Institute grew significantly in size and impact, building ties to elected and appointed officials on both sides of the aisle in the US and around the world and becoming one of Washington's most influential think tanks. During his tenure as President and CEO, Hudson nearly tripled its annual budget to $20 million and quintupled its endowment to $60 million.[2][3]

In addition to his work at Hudson Institute, Weinstein was nominated by President Bush and confirmed by the US Senate in 2006 to serve on the National Council for the Humanities, the board which oversees the National Endowment for the Humanities.[4][5]

In 2013, he was nominated by President Obama to serve on the Broadcasting Board of Governors (now the U.S. Agency for Global Media), the agency which oversees Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia, and other government broadcasting programs.[6] Weinstein was later elected by his fellow governors as chairman of the BBG in 2017, a position in which he served until 2020.[7] In September 2018, he was appointed to the Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations by President Trump.[8][9]

In 2012 he was listed as a board member at the Paris based Jean Jacques Rousseau Institute.[10]
