Olivia Coleman
Olivia Coleman serves as Press Secretary for ODNI. In this role, she serves as the primary spokesperson for ODNI, the Intelligence Community, and DNI Gabbard, as well as manages media relations and outreach.
Coleman is a Wausau, Wisconsin native. After completing her undergraduate degree in political science and communications from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, she moved to Washington, D.C. to work for Wisconsin’s own, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI). Coleman worked on Sen. Johnson’s press team and assisted in his highly competitive and ultimately successful 2022 reelection campaign. In 2023, she joined the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic as Press Secretary where she managed media for high profile hearings—including Dr. Fauci and Andrew Cuomo—and spoke frequently on the record about waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government. Immediately before joining ODNI, Coleman served as an interim press secretary for the House Oversight committee and helped launch the DOGE Subcommittee.
