Full Bio
“I’m Olivia Troye. I was homeland security and counterterrorism advisor to Vice President Pence and served as Vice President Pence’s lead staff member on the COVID-19 response…”
So began the bombshell video testimonial in which Troye, a high-level, behind-the-scenes White House official, blew the whistle on President Trump and accused him of failing to protect the American people.
“Towards the middle of February, we knew that it wasn’t a matter of if COVID would become a big pandemic here in in the United States,” she said. “It was a matter of when. But the President didn’t want to hear that because his biggest concern was that we were in an election year and how was this going to affect what he considered his record of success…The truth is that he doesn’t care about anything else but himself.”
For Troye, this act of speaking out to protect the American people was a moral and ethical choice deeply rooted in years spent at the highest levels of national security, working on the most complex issues and crisis responses of our time. During her tenure in the White House, she was responsible for tracking and covering all imminent and evolving domestic and international security threats, natural disaster events, and managing complex policy decisions and responses to large scale crisis events facing the American people. Prior to this role, Troye served in the Office of Intelligence & Analysis at the Department of Homeland Security as Chief of Strategy, Policy & Plans. Troye has also served on the leadership staffs in the Department of Defense, the National Counterterrorism Center, and the Department of Energy. She has also worked in the private sector for organizations such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and General Dynamics Information Technology. Like many patriotic Americans, she entered government service after 9/11, serving in the Pentagon as a Bush Administration appointee. Troye currently serves as an adviser for Defending Democracy Together, an advocacy organization created by lifelong conservatives and Republicans. She was also named as #2 on InStyle’s list of “50 Badass Women.”
A first-generation Mexican American from El Paso, Texas, Troye is fluent in Spanish and entered kindergarten unable to speak English. Through the power of education, she became the first in her family to attend college. She is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, the National Defense University’s College of International Security Affairs, and the Naval Postgraduate School’s Center for Homeland Defense and Security.
In an age of political division, Olivia Troye challenges all of us to put country over party for both the good of the nation and the safety of the American people. Her story inspires us to stand up for our convictions, be true to ourselves, and always do the right thing—even when it could mean losing everything.
