The acting administrator of the organization that is pushing for sweeping budget cuts across federal agencies is a low-profile executive who has expertise in health care technology and worked in the first Trump administration.

The White House said the head of the Department of Government Efficiency — the wide-ranging federal cost-cutting initiative associated with Elon Musk — is a little-known official named Amy Gleason.

It was not immediately clear when Gleason was formally named to the position. The White House identified Gleason as the acting DOGE administrator shortly after White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt repeatedly declined Tuesday afternoon to reveal who's in charge of DOGE during a briefing with reporters.
