Anthony Scaramucci

American financier and broadcaster who briefly served as White House communications director in 2017.

Anthony Scaramucci (born January 6, 1964) is an American financier and broadcaster. He briefly served as the White House communications director from July 21 to July 31, 2017, a tenure of 11 days.

Scaramucci worked at Goldman Sachs between 1989 and 1996. After leaving Goldman Sachs, he founded Oscar Capital Management, and in 2005 he founded the investment firm SkyBridge Capital, where he is a founder and principal. SkyBridge Capital is a global investment firm based in New York City that produces the SALT Conference.

On July 21, 2017, Scaramucci was appointed White House communications director. Days into the job, he provoked controversy after launching a strongly worded attack on members of the Trump administration, including an interview with The New Yorker that he believed was off the record. Ten days after his appointment, he was dismissed by President Donald Trump at the recommendation of new White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly.

He has since been critical of Trump in the media and voiced support for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the 2020 and 2024 elections, respectively.
