Reggie oversees the agency's $25 billion budget, ensuring funds are used effectively to support development programs in over 100 countries. With a background in the Navy and senior financial roles at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Reggie's expertise provides a unique lens into managing USAID's budgets, accounting systems, and fiscal policies.
