This week on Ameritocracy, while in Washington, D.C. host Troy Edgar had the opportunity to interview Benjamin Moncarz, the Food and Drug Administration's Chief Financial Officer.
Benjamin oversees the agency's $7.2B budget, ensuring funds align with the FDA's mission to safeguard the health of over 300 million Americans and accelerate scientific innovation that drives the U.S. economy. Benjamin's previous role as the Deputy CFO of the Federal Emergency Management Agency during the COVID pandemic gave him a unique perspective on managing a large-scale operation in a dynamic environment.
In this episode, we discuss the FDA's budget management, resource allocation, and the critical role that partnerships and user fees play in driving scientific innovation. Lastly, we discussed “What is the potential of AI and technology in finance operations?”
