Career
Silverberg was previously Assistant Secretary of State for International Organizations for the United States government. In that role, she was in charge of the Bureau of International Organization Affairs, a part of the State Department.
Prior to her appointment to the State Department, Silverberg served in the following positions in the White House:

- Deputy Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy
- Deputy Assistant to the President and Advisor to the Chief of Staff
Silverberg also served as Senior Adviser to Paul Bremer when he was Administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq—reportedly “because she was interested in the work, and not at the behest of the White House.” She has been described as a “rising star” in the White House, and as “one of the White House’s most trusted behind-the-scenes aides.”
Prior to coming to work for the White House, Silverberg served as a law clerk, first to Appellate Court Judge David B. Sentelle, and later to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
