USDS Official Departs

Haley Van Dyck, the longtime Obama administration official who helped launch the US Digital Service in 2014, has left that office, OMB confirms. Van Dyck, who once held the formal title of deputy USDS administrator, had quietly stayed on to guide the agency through the start of the Trump presidency. "Haley's passion for improving digital services for the American people has been second to none," said Matt Cutts, the former Google engineer-turned-acting USDS administrator. "Haley had a specific goal of assisting USDS through the administration transition and left when she felt that was completed to the best of her abilities. Although the USDS team is sad to see her go, we're excited to see what's around the corner for Haley and wish her the best."
