"I'm honored that President [Donald] Trump put his trust in me and I thank Mayor Foley for taking the time to swear me in as GSA Administrator on such short notice. Over the past four months I've met with GSA employees, listened to what's working well and what we can be doing better. I'm fired up to get to work and proud to start serving in President Trump's Administration for the American people."
"Forst has more than four decades of experience as an executive in financial services and real estate, and he most recently served as the chairman of Lion Capital. He's since been on a listening tour across GSA, which has taken on an expansive role in the Trump administration, consolidating the nation's real estate footprint, reforming and centralizing acquisition practices, inking new deals to save taxpayer dollars and driving technology adoption across government."
Edward Forst was sworn in as General Services Administration Administrator on Christmas Eve in Indian River Shores, Florida, by Mayor Brian T. Foley while Forst was on jury duty. The Senate confirmed his nomination on Dec. 18 after an October hearing before the Senate committee. Forst has more than four decades of executive experience in financial services and real estate and recently served as chairman of Lion Capital. He has been on a listening tour across GSA as the agency consolidates federal real estate, reforms acquisition practices, pursues technology adoption and inks deals to save taxpayer dollars. Michael Rigas served as acting head since July, and the agency trimmed workforce levels while reversing planned tech layoffs.
