The new, Senate-confirmed head of the Office of Personnel Management, venture capital alum Scott Kupor, says that he wants to operationalize the focus on efficiency in his agency and throughout government, but that OPM won’t be taking orders from the Department of Government Efficiency.
“OPM is its own agency,” Kupor told reporters Monday when asked about its relationship with DOGE moving forward. “To the extent that they’re helpful in the overall goals and objectives we have, then we’re happy to partner with people, but we’re going to ultimately make the decisions that we think are in the best interests of OPM.”
