    “Jim Mattis is a national treasure, a leader known throughout the world for his strategic judgment as well as his unyielding principles,” said former Defense Secretary Bill Cohen, chairman of The Cohen Group.  “He is a Marine, a student of history, a scholar and teacher, and a public servant in the truest sense of the term. We are honored to be working with him, and our clients will benefit from his knowledge and guidance.”

    In addition to his work with The Cohen Group, which begins in October, Mattis is the Davies Family Distinguished Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, a member of the board of directors of General Dynamics and a member of the board of the Tri-Cities Food Bank in his hometown of Richland, Washington.
