The DOE Office of Environmental Management (EM) recently named Mark Gilbertson as its Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary.
Gilbertson, who has been acting in the role since August, also served as the Associate Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary (APDAS) for the Office of Regulatory and Policy Affairs. Betsy Connell will serve as acting APDAS for that office.
“Mark has excellent skills, temperament, and knowledge that complement mine,” EM Assistant Secretary Anne White said, adding that she is honored to work alongside him.
Gilbertson has over 35 years of public- and private-sector experience in environmental engineering and remediation. Since joining EM in 1994, he has led advancements in risk reduction and innovative technological enhancements, and increased headquarters and field site integration in his many leadership roles.
