Social Media Portrays Noel Zamot as Pro-Environment and Anti-Trump
The recently appointed Revitalization Coordinator, Noel Zamot, does not hold any public or political positions. However, he has obtained extensive administrative expertise in the United States Armed Forces, as well as in the private industry, with recent experience in a cybersecurity consulting firm.
Nonetheless, his social media profiles reveal he outright rejects President Donald Trump's endeavors, as well as a steadfast stance for environmental conservation, coupled with alove for cycling and soccer.
Zamot began his career in 1988 as a bomber pilot for the US Air Force (USAF). According to his LinkedIn profile, he flew in combat during Operation Desert Storm in the early 90s.
He later became Operations Deputy Chief at US Space Command, national US representative in NATO, and Commander at the USAF Test Pilot School, located in the Edwards Air Force Base in California. He concluded his military service in 2012, and started working as USAF Program Director at Wyle Aerospace Group, providing his cybersecurity expertise to Department of Defense clients.
As founder of Corvus Analytics, Zamot landed contracts with the USAF and the Massachusetts state government to develop innovation and freelance aviation policies.
Zamot does not post very often in his Twitter profile, but his retweets suggest strong dissatisfaction with President Trump, most recently because of his withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement. He was also very critical of the Republican candidate during his presidential campaign.

Interestingly enough, some of his tweets from that period seem to suggest he favored candidate Gary Johnson, former governor of New Mexico and presidential candidate for the Libertarian Party. The final election results placed Johnson in third place, with 3.27% of the popular vote.

He also believes in climate change, as shown by his Twitter posts, where he shares articles about the issue and the private industry's role in it:
'Industry should play an important role in climate change policy http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/11/17/502425711/hundreds-of-u-s-businesses-urge-trump-to-uphold-paris-climate-deal … @climateinteract @climatetalkMIT'
