Before joining NICB, DiZinno held the position of associate deputy attorney general at the US Department of Justice, where he advised the deputy attorney general and acting attorney general on critical national security matters. He also served as the chief counsel for national security and crime for the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Earlier in his career, DiZinno worked as an assistant US attorney in the US Attorney's Office in the District of Columbia, specializing in national security, fraud and public corruption, and homicide cases. He began his legal journey at Howrey LLP, a prominent litigation firm in Washington, D.C., where he gained experience in white-collar crime, antitrust, and complex litigation.
In 2022, President Joe Biden nominated DiZinno to serve as a member of the United States Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB), a position that received unanimous bipartisan support from the Senate.
DiZinno holds a bachelor's degree from the College of the Holy Cross and a law degree from the George Washington University School of Law.
