Raylene Yung, formerly executive director of the General Services Administration’s Technology Modernization Fund Program Management Office, has been appointed chief of staff at the Department of Energy’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations.
DOE said Tuesday Yung is among the six new appointees to its senior leadership team to support agency-wide efforts to achieve the Biden administration’s climate and energy goals.
Before joining DOE, Yung oversaw the $1.2 billion TMF initiative that supports the information technology modernization efforts across the federal government and served as co-founder and CEO of the U.S. Digital Response.
The Biden administration also appointed Rafael Cestero as special assistant for advance at the Office of Scheduling and Advance, Rebecca Kasper as chief of staff at the Loan Programs Office, Lila Nojima as attorney-adviser at the Office of the General Counsel, Andrea Piccardo as special assistant to the White House Liaison at the Office of the Secretary and Usha Sahay as chief speechwriter at the Office of Public Affairs.
Two current appointees received promotions: Julius Goldberg-Lewis was named chief of staff at the Office of Technology Transitions and Frances Swanson was assigned special adviser at the Office of the Under Secretary for Infrastructure.
