Robin Carnahan, formerly Missouri's secretary of state and the lead of state and local government practice at 18F, is the administration's pick to lead the General Services Administration.
Carnahan founded GSA's state and local practice in 2016 and led the effort through 2020. The state and local practice grew out of a pilot project in California to rebuild the state's legacy Child Welfare System using human-centered design and agile acquisition and development practices.
She has led government partnerships at U.S. Digital Response, which aimed to connect pro bono tech experts to public servants responding to the COVID-19 crisis in an effort to help states manage and account for how they spend coronavirus stimulus grants.
