Brian Bulatao remembers the call as if it came yesterday. After the 2016 election, he was on the phone with his old buddy Mike Pompeo, congratulating him for being Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Central Intelligence Agency. Bulatao, who went to West Point with Pompeo in the early 1980s and later started a business with him in Kansas, was telling his friend what a great job he’d do—when Pompeo interjected. “He goes: ‘Well, not so quick. I’m going to drag your butt with me!’ ”
In January 2017, Pompeo did just that, first bringing Bulatao on as a senior adviser at the CIA, and then tapping him as the agency’s No. 3 executive. The job used to be called executive director, or exdir, and entails overseeing the day-to-day running of the CIA—budgets, logistics, personnel. But after Bulatao was appointed to the job in June 2017, he and Pompeo agreed to change his title to chief operating officer, underscoring their aim to bring a veneer of the private sector to the world of espionage.
In wake of Haspel's appointment, Brian Bulatao moved on to become Under Secretary of State for Management. Haspel selected Andrew (Andy) Makridis to succeed Bulatao as CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER of the CIA. Announced formally on Aug 22, 2018.

President Donald J. Trump Announces Intent to Nominate Brian Bulatao, June 12, 2018.
Brian Bulatao NOMINATION SENT TO THE SENATE, 18 JUN 2017.
Brian Bulatao was confirmed as the Under Secretary of State for Management in May of 2019.
Pompeo confidant emerges as enforcer in fight over watchdog’s firing. "All roads seem to go through Mr. Bulatao," a Democratic congressional aide said.
Bulatao isn’t just any colleague of the secretary of State. He is one of Pompeo’s best friends, dating back to when they met at West Point as members of the class of 1986. The two have been business partners. And when Pompeo went to lead the CIA, then later jumped to State, he gave Bulatao top positions at both institutions.
