This proactive leader with a 19-year record of leading highly skilled technical teams in executing high-risk, information management and cybersecurity audits to improve agency operations takes on a new role.
Jennifer Franks shared: I am honored to share that I have been selected to serve as the U.S. Government Accountability Office’s Acting Chief Technology Officer.
This newly established role represents an exciting opportunity to help shape how technology, data, innovation, cybersecurity, and mission delivery come together to support GAO’s work on behalf of Congress and the American people.
Over the past 20 years in federal service, I have had the privilege of working alongside extraordinary public servants dedicated to improving government performance, strengthening cybersecurity, modernizing technology, and delivering meaningful outcomes.
I look forward to partnering with colleagues across the agency as we continue building the future of technology, data, and innovation at GAO.
I am grateful to my personal board of directors for their continued guidance and support, and to the talented teams I have had the privilege to lead and learn from throughout my career.
