The White House confirmed on Tuesday that Amy Gleason is serving as the acting administrator of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after weeks of questions over who is serving in that role in the agency led by Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
Gleason, 53, is a career official who previously worked in the Trump administration’s U.S. Digital Service during President Donald Trump's first term before leaving to work at firm Russell Street Ventures, which was founded by Brad Smith, another DOGE leader.
Gleason rejoined the digital service late last year and was looped into DOGE conversations by Smith, The New York Times reported.
Gleason’s work at the service during Trump’s first term included work with the Health and Human Services Department, where she worked on the coronavirus response.
The White House announced this week that Amy Gleason is serving as DOGE administrator
Gleason has worked for many years on health care reform, which, according to an archived post on the Obama White House website, was inspired by being a caregiver to her daughter who suffers from a rare medical disorder.
"Amy Gleason began her career in nursing and then discovered a passion for technology. She recognized that technology can improve healthcare, and spent years building and implementing electronic medical record and practice management technologies," the website states.
"In June 2010, her daughter was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder, which opened her eyes to an entirely new set of challenges in the healthcare system. In her role as caregiver, she was responsible for keeping her daughter’s care organized, efficient, and effective. As the Chief Operating Officer of CareSync, Amy draws on these experiences to help patients and their families better coordinate care and improve health outcomes. Additionally, Amy proudly volunteers as the Vice President of Research for the Cure JM Foundation, a nonprofit that funds research, raises awareness, and supports families of children with Juvenile Myositis."
