Nadia Catherine Schadlow[1] is an American academic and defense-related governmental official who briefly served in 2018 as Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategy in the Trump Administration.[2]

Following that she joined the Hudson Institute as a Senior Fellow.[3] Unlike some ex-of-this-administration officials, her potential future career in academia was considered not likely to raise objections.[4]

National Security Council

Prior to her appointment, Schadlow had been the primary author of the 2017 National Security Strategy (United States).[5] Her work on the document and the inter-agency process that preceded it were well-received by foreign policy experts across the political spectrum.[6][7] "If you are a Trump critic, you should be encouraged by her resume . . . If you are, on the other hand, a Trump supporter you should also be encouraged by her polish. No one could explain the ideas as smoothly or as confidently as she does if they did not understand them. Her elite education and background has not divided her from the best ideas that brought Trump’s team to Washington. Nor, clearly, does she disdain them. She has undertaken to be their advocate at the highest levels. She is a valuable ally in translating those concepts into a working strategy."[8]

Schadlow was chosen to replace Dina Powell as deputy national security advisor in 2018.[9] Schadlow was described as a "longtime colleague (of H.R. McMaster) with a rare academic background into Trump’s West Wing" who would "beef up the academic credentials on the team."[9]

Schadlow was initially appointed to the National Security Council staff by National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster in March 2017.[10] After John R. Bolton replaced McMaster as National Security Advisor on April 9, it was announced that Schadlow would resign effective April 27.[11][12][12]

Academia career

She is author of the book, War and the Art of Governance, published by Georgetown University Press in 2017.[13] She is an adjunct instructor at the Sacred Heart University.[14]

Prior to joining the National Security Council in 2017, Schadlow was a Senior Program Officer in the International Security and Foreign Policy Program of the Smith Richardson Foundation, where she helped identify strategic issues which warrant further attention from U.S. policy makers.[15] She served on the Defense Policy Board from September 2006 to June 2009 and is a full member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Her articles have appeared in Parameters, The American Interest, the Wall Street Journal, Philanthropy, and several edited volumes. In the early 1990s she served as the desk officer for the Ukraine in the office of the U.S. Secretary of Defense.[1]

Schadlow holds a B.A. degree in government and Soviet studies from Cornell University and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) at Johns Hopkins University.[16]

Personal life

Schadlow grew up in Bedford Hills, New York; her father is a doctor.[1] She married Philip M. Murphy in a ceremony in Pocantico Hills, New York in 1993.[1]
