“She knows the importance of providing exceptional services to the federal government at best value to the taxpayer and will use this experience well in leading the Office of Governmentwide Policy as we continue to develop and implement management and internal operations policies across government,” Johnson said.

Prior to GSA, Turco served as director of financial policy, planning and programs in the Office of the Chief Information Officer at the IRS from 2001 to 2002 , and from 2001 to 2002 she was the agency’s deputy chief financial officer for strategic planning and budgeting.
