Federal 100: Stacy Marcott
Name:
Stacy Marcott
Title:
Deputy Chief Financial Officer and Acting CFO
Organization:
Department of Homeland Security
Double trouble. DHS has been working on financial modernization for years, but it had several notable successes in 2019. Marcott played an essential role in that progress, and she did it while managing her day-to-day responsibilities as both acting and deputy CFO. Under her guidance, the department went live with the first major component of its new financial system. She also navigated a time of significant leadership churn across the department, working closely with senior executives at DHS headquarters and across the Transportation Security Administration, the Coast Guard and the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office to prepare them for the next phase of the modernization.
