Gill, a Princeton and UC Berkeley graduate, brings extensive experience in national security, having previously served on the NSC during Trump’s first term and at the State Department. His private sector roles included principal and general counsel at Gill Capital Group and advising on energy matters at TC Energy, a company involved in the Keystone XL Pipeline.
