Here’s what The New York Post reported:

At long last, the White House on Tuesday revealed the identity of the person ostensibly responsible for overseeing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Amy Gleason, a senior adviser to the US Digital Service, is serving as the acting administrator of DOGE, a White House official confirmed to The Post.

The US Digital Service (USDS) is a technology unit housed within the executive office of the president which was reorganized as DOGE at the start of President Trump’s second term.

Gleason previously served as a digital services expert for USDS during Trump’s first term and has also held several private sector and nonprofit jobs, according to her LinkedIn profile.

Per CBS:

A White House official says Amy Gleason is the acting administrator of the Department of Government Efficiency, after the White House struggled to answer who is technically at the top of the organizational chart.

Gleason declined to comment on her appoint as acting DOGE administrator. Gleason’s LinkedIn lists her as a U.S. Digital Services senior adviser, and she has a background in consulting and the medical field.

When CBS News spoke to Gleason Tuesday morning ahead of her announcement as DOGE acting administrator, she said she was in Mexico and declined to comment further.

Gleason’s promotion to acting administrator came as a surprise to USDS employees who, like Gleason, were folded into DOGE, CBS News learned Tuesday evening. Those employees learned of her new position “in the past few hours” even though they had been asking for weeks who was going to fill the job, CBS News was told.
