The Department of Defense has announced the establishment
of two new positions within the Defense Business
Transformation Agency, established in October 2005 to
transform business operations by improving war-fighter
support and financial accountability department-wide.
It said Elizabeth McGrath would serve as the assistant
under secretary of defense for business integration, and
act as the advisor and assistant on all issues regarding
the establishment of the agency and its relationship with
the principal staff assistants within the Office of the
Secretary of Defense.
McGrath is to work with PSA organizations within the
secretary’s office to set up appropriate support relationships
between the agency and the staff assistants, according to DoD.
Mark Krzysko has been appointed as the assistant deputy under
secretary of defense for strategic sourcing and acquisition
processes, and will serve on the staff as advisor on
acquisition and sourcing processes and initiatives.
DoD said Krzysko would also serve as the focal point linking
the functional communities of DoD’s business mission area for
specific strategic initiatives, including engaging agencies to
leverage, develop and implement cohesive strategies for
sourcing and acquisition that connect appropriately with
federal level initiatives. Krzysko will also support the
Office of Management and Budget and Office of Federal Procurement
Policy as they establish federal direction for strategic
sourcing, according to the Pentagon.
