Former NSC Staffers and Obama‑Appointed Intelligence Advisory Board Member Linked to Deutsche Bank Advisory Roles

Former NSC Staffers and Obama‑Appointed Intelligence Advisory Board Member Linked to Deutsche Bank Advisory Roles The passage identifies two senior consultants (Eric D.K. Melby and Kevin G. Neeler) with deep U.S. government experience-including NSC service and a presidential appointment to the Intelligence Advisory Board-who are now principals at The Scowcroft Group, a firm that appears in a Deutsche Bank‑related document. While no specific transactions or wrongdoing are detailed, the overlap of high‑level policy experience and private‑sector wealth‑management work suggests a possible conflict‑of‑interest or influence‑peddling lead worth probing. Key insights: Eric D.K. Melby served on the National Security Council (1987‑1993) and now works for The Scowcroft Group.; Kevin G. Neeler was appointed by President Obama to the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board in 2014 and previously served on OPIC boards.; Both individuals are principals at The Scowcroft Group, which is referenced in a Deutsche Bank asset‑management document.
