The position was created in September 2019 during the
presidency of Iván Duque under the name of
Chief of Staff, inspired by the figure of the
United States federal government Chief of Staff of the White House, from the merger of the figures of
General Secretary and
Private Secretary, which had been functioning in previous administrations in Colombia, and had similar functions, since the
presidency of Álvaro Uribe. In the
Gustavo Petro administration, the post has been vacant since June 2023. In August it was announced that
Cielo Rusinque would be appointed to the role, but this was reversed the following day. == List of Casa de Nariño chiefs of staff ==
