Gwendolyn Sykes

MEMBER SINCE: 2022

As a financial professional I consider transparency and authenticity as two key characteristics for public leaders. Throughout my career, I have enforced the need to provide solid financial management and fiscal management of our federal resources to the American Public. It is the protection of these resources that I have made it my personal career goal as well as have taken steps to enhance and modernize through automation our fiscal and financial resource reporting mechanisms I have had several successful financial systems implementations that have moved agencies to the next level of fiscal reporting and being in a solid position to receive clean audit opinions.
