GSA Names Acquisition Chief

David Bibb, the acting administrator of the General Services Administration, has found a new chief acquisition officer for the agency: Ted Haddad, a Senior Executive Service member who has served in the Office of the Chief Acquisition Officer since last year. Before that, Haddad had an extensive career in the government contracting industry and served as an acquisition executive for the Air Force in the early 1990s.

The GSA job came open when Molly Wilkinson departed to join the Small Business Administration earlier this year. Since then, David Drabkin has filled the job on an acting basis.
