New York, NY - United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) is pleased to announce that Ambassador Kristen Silverberg, former U.S. Ambassador to the European Union and longtime member of UANI's Advisory Board, has accepted the position of President of UANI.

Said UANI CEO, Ambassador Mark D. Wallace:     

We are honored that Kristen has joined UANI as President. Kristen is a highly respected U.S. diplomat, and an expert on U.S.-European relations. As the former U.S. Ambassador to the European Union and a longtime friend and supporter of UANI, she is uniquely qualified to assist in guiding UANI as it continues its global campaign to economically isolate the Iranian regime.

She previously held a number of positions in President George W. Bush's administration, including Deputy Assistant to the President and Advisor to the White House Chief of Staff. In 2003, she served as Senior Advisor to Ambassador L. Paul Bremer in Baghdad, Iraq.

Ambassador Silverberg formerly practiced law at Williams and Connolly, LLP in Washington, D.C. She was a law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and Judge David Sentelle of the U.S. Court of Appeals. She graduated from Harvard College and the University of Texas School of Law. She has been selected by the World Economic Forum as a Young Global Leader of 2009. She received the Secretary of Defense Award for Outstanding Public Service.
