Washington Speakers Bureau Welcomes Jeh Johnson, Former Secretary of Homeland Security, to Its Distinguished Speaker Roster

WASHINGTON, July 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Washington Speakers Bureau (WSB) is proud to welcome Jeh Johnson, former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security and one of the nation's most respected authorities on national security and law, to its exclusive roster of renowned speakers.

As Secretary of Homeland Security from 2013 to 2017, Johnson led a cabinet agency of 230,000 employees, overseeing the nation's efforts in counterterrorism, cybersecurity, aviation security, immigration enforcement, and disaster response. During his tenure, he made countless high-stakes decisions—many involving classified counterterrorism operations—and became a trusted voice to the American public in moments of national uncertainty.

"Jeh Johnson brings a rare blend of real-world leadership, sharp legal and policy insight, and the steady judgment needed to lead through crisis and complexity," said Ryan Heil, President of Washington Speakers Bureau. "He speaks with the clarity and authority that comes from having been in the room where the toughest calls are made. Audiences trust Jeh because he's lived it. For leaders navigating risk, disruption, and high-stakes decisions, his perspective is invaluable."

As a keynote speaker, Johnson captivates audiences ranging from corporate boards and legal forums to universities and public institutions. His presentations deliver rare, behind-the-scenes insights on managing crises, building trust, and leading teams through uncertainty—with authenticity, humility, and strategic clarity.

In addition to his leadership at the Department of Homeland Security, Johnson previously served as General Counsel of both the Department of Defense and the Department of the Air Force. He recently concluded his tenure as a partner at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP. Today, he serves as Co-Chair of the Board of Trustees at Columbia University and is a frequent commentator on networks including NBC, MSNBC, and Fox & Friends, where he offers trusted insights on the most pressing issues facing the nation.
