Erica Evans is the Director of Operations and Finance at the United States DOGE Service within the White House, where she leads the operational strategies, internal infrastructure, and resources necessary to drive high impact digital service delivery across the federal government. She previously served in the US Digital Service as a Procurement Expert and Director of Operations through its transition to the US DOGE Service.

Erica has been in the federal acquisition space for the majority of her career, serving as lead Contracting Officer on a major cybersecurity portfolio after learning the ropes in the DHS Acquisition Professional Career Program. As a member of the inaugural class of USDS’s Digital IT Professional program in 2015, she drank the kool-aid on modernizing government technology and transferred over the DHS Digital Service to work at a number of components directing more than a billion dollars into stronger vendor partnerships through thoughtful source selection strategies. In 2020 she joined the Digital Service proper at the White House to work with a wider variety of agencies and projects. While there she led the discovery work on the White House’s “Facing a Financial Shock” Life Experience launching ongoing work to increase access to our key social safety net benefits, and later the initial USDS work for Online Passport Renewals, which successfully launched September 2024.
