A member of the Republican Party, he was the chief executive officer (CEO) of Bridgewater Associates, one of the world's largest hedge funds, from 2020 to 2022. McCormick graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1987 and served in Iraq during the Gulf War. He received the Bronze Star while serving in the 82nd Airborne Division. In 1996, McCormick earned a Ph.D. from Princeton University. From 2005 to 2009, he held several positions in the George W.
