Thomas Harker, associate deputy assistant secretary for financial policy at the Department of Veterans Affairs, will be nominated as assistant secretary of the U.S. Navy financial management and comptroller office.
The White House said Friday Harker previously held operational and financial management roles at the U.S. Coast Guard before he retired from active duty in 2012 with the rank of commander.
His USCG career has included time as comptroller for the Integrated Support Command, business manager of the Buoy Tender Replacement Project and deputy chief for the Office of Financial Transformation and Compliance.
He also served as policy analyst at the Office of Management and Budget and worked in the private sector as a practice director and senior manager at Grant Thornton.
