Not Elon Musk, not a tech mogul; DOGE’s interim leader is a former COVID data architect and a mother of two; here's all about her

It is not Elon Musk who is actively leading the Department of Government Efficiency, but it is actually a lady who is a mother of two and also a genius data architect who rose to prominence at the time of the pandemic. Amy Gleason, a 55-year-old former official at the US Digital Service, is now the interim leader at DOGE, and she is known for helping build the COVID-19 database during Donald Trump's regime, according to a DailyBeast report.

New revelation about DOGE's 'true' leader

This revelation about Gleason came in from the White House administration after much pressure and queries about who the actual leader of DOGE was. Now it is being revealed that it is Gleason who is working behind the curtains and delivering the results that we see. The lady is a mother of two and has even given TED talks about her journey, which are available to view on YouTube.

Gleason’s LinkedIn and Facebook handles suggest that her passion lies specifically in healthcare and her family, and many were shocked to see her bio and what she has done throughout her career. Her profile is completely different from those new staffers at the Department of Government Efficiency, some of whom are even college dropouts, scooped up by Musk and handed over sensitive federal data.
