The General Services Administration will bid goodbye to three of its tech leaders in the coming months, as Kay Ely, David Zvenyach and Joel Minton depart the Technology Transformation Services (TTS).

 

Kay Ely

Kay Ely will retire by the end of the year, though not before she sees GSA and the Office of Personnel Management through their upcoming merger. Ely leaves her position as assistant commissioner for the Information Technology Category at the end of September to take a detail on the merger’s task force.

Ely began working for OPM in 2011 prior to taking her assistant commissioner position in 2016. She previously filled several roles in the Office of Management and Budget and the Department of Defense and is a trained speech pathologist.

She was named one of FedScoop’s Top Women in Tech in 2017 for her work modernizing the Information Technology Category.

 

David Zvenyach

David Zvenyach, a former acting assistant commissioner for the Office of Systems Management, is transitioning to the private sector after three years working on technology and legal issues for GSA.

A former mechanical engineer and general counsel to the Council of the District of Columbia, Zvenyach focuses on open data access, copyright, and government transparency.

He is the author of online textbook Coding for Lawyers and was named 2014 Legal Hacker of the Year by DC Legal Hackers.

 

Joel Minton

Joel Minton joined GSA to launch Login.gov, a shared GSA consumer identity management system that allows multiple government departments access to accounts and interfaces, security operations, software development and user experience aid. Now that the program is operational, Minton is returning to the private sector.

Minton previously worked on developing software for eBay and Intuit’s TurboTax.
