Trump II's Corporate Crossovers Go Both Ways

The news is chockfull of new jobs for insiders within the confines of the giant money funnel.  

Katie Zacharia left Trump Media & Technology Group (which sells early access to White House news) for the White House Press Office.  Her three months of TMTG experience should help her determine what gets steered to $100,000 a month subscribers and what becomes leftovers for the main street media.

At least five former Trump officials were hired onto OpenAI and Anthropic over the last year, according to Quartz.  These hires came as TechGods visited the White House numerous times.  Proximity to Trump II is a precarious thing given his predilections for usurping enticing items within his gaze.

I'm sure un-empathetic TechGods need all the consultation they can afford to navigate Trump II's savage whims and his spontaneously taking that which is not his.

The last crossover, George Kollitides managed to keep his feet in both the government and corporate side simultaneously.  The longtime private equity underwriter (PEU) worked at Cerberus Capital Management under Steve Feinberg, currently serving as Deputy Secretary of War.

Mr. Kollitides became Senior Advisor to the Deputy Secretary of War and his name first appears in late 2025 (Pacific Forum).   

George Kollitides has served as a member of our board of directors commencing upon effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Mr. Kollitides is a Senior Executive Advisor to the Deputy Secretary of War at the Department of War (DoW), the Director of the Economic Defense Unit (EDU), where is responsible for all Department of War (DoW) investing, and economic activities, and the Vice Chairman of the Investment Committee for the Office of Strategic Capital (OSC). He is also a Senior Advisor to Alavarez and Marsal Capital, an approximately $6 billion multi strategy operationally oriented, middle market private equity firm and Star Mountain Capital, an approximately $5.0 billion middle market multi strategy private credit and equity firm.  - D. Boral Acquisition I Corporation Prospectus 2-10-26

The Star Mountain Capital role came in April 2025.  

At Alavarez and Marshal Capital, Kollitides continued his PEUing:

Mr. Kollitides served as a Partner and Co-Head of A&M Capital’s Opportunities Strategy, an operationally oriented, middle market private equity firm, where he was responsible for firm leadership and oversight,

Greed is part of the dark mix transforming the Pentagon.  While Senior Advisor to the Deputy Secretary of War, Senior Advisor to Alavarez and Marshal Capital and Senior Advisor to Star Mountaiin Capital, Kollitides was appointed to the Board of Directors of D. Boral Acquistion I Corporation.

As a founding board member Kollitides received:

George Kollitides received an indirect interest in 100,000 founder shares through membership interests in our sponsor (D. Boral Sponsor I LLC)

Current TMTG CEO Kevin McGurn received 250,000 founder shares.  

Since Kollitides' Pentagon appointment Alavarez and Marshal's federal consulting business has raked it in (ProPublica).  It's nice when two of your three high paying employers can find a way to do raise the dollar exchange size and speed inside the giant money funnel.

These hires show that the mantra holds, "Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren.  Increasingly, more are one."
