Donald Trump's transition team is already vetting potential candidates who could serve in his administration when he returns to the White House in January.
On Thursday, he made the first announcement, naming his campaign co-manager Susan Summerall Wiles as his White House chief of staff.
Many of the figures who served under Trump in his first term do not plan to return, though a handful of loyalists are rumoured to be making a comeback.
But the US president-elect is now surrounded by a new cast of characters who may fill his cabinet, staff his White House and serve in key roles across government.
Here is a look at the some of the names being floated for the top jobs.
