Jeff Rezmovic, who most recently served as deputy chief of staff for policy at the Department of Homeland Security, has been nominated by President Joe Biden to assume the chief financial officer role at DHS.
According to a White House announcement on Tuesday, the national security leader has experience in advancing DHS’ strategic, policy and operational priorities such as counterterrorism, cybersecurity, border security, immigration and emergency management.
Rezmovic also helped Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas oversee DHS’ $98 billion budget and 260,000 personnel.
“Jeff’s accomplishments demonstrate his talent and commitment to making government more capable, efficient and accountable to the people we serve. During his tenure at DHS, he led the creation of the congressionally-mandated Surge Capacity Force,” Mayorkas said about Rezmovic.
Rezmovic’s career with the department started in 2010, when he joined the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a presidential management fellow and speechwriter.
After that, he assumed roles of increasing responsibility such as acting deputy chief of staff, counselor to the deputy secretary and branch chief at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
