Janet Ann Napolitano (/nəpɒlɪˈtænoʊ/;[1] born November 29, 1957)[2] is an American politician, lawyer, and academic administrator. She served as president of the University of California from 2013 to 2020, on the faculty at the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley since 2015, the United States secretary of homeland security from 2009 to 2013 (during the administration of President Barack Obama), and the governor of Arizona from 2003 to 2009.[3][4]
Prior to her election as governor, she served as attorney general of Arizona from 1999 to 2003. She was the first woman and the 23rd person to serve in that office.

She has been the first woman to serve in several offices, including attorney general of Arizona, secretary of homeland security, and president of the University of California.
