From a Fox News analyst to a key member of President Trump's team, one woman took center stage as she charmed Vladimir Putin at yesterday's Alaska summit.

Monica Crowley made the Russian leader beam as they shook hands shortly before he took off from Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday.

She may not be as famous as Trump or have as much sway in decision-making as some of his cabinet members, but Crowley plays a vital role in all of the President's major US-hosted events.

As Chief of Protocol, it's the former journalist's job to make sure that diplomatic proceedings run smoothly and every person is standing in their assigned spot.

Crowley would have been in charge of coordinating with a foreign ambassador and the American Embassy overseas to make sure Putin's arrival was perfect, according to the State Department.
