- A former colleague described as the newly called Dog Amy Gleason administrator as a worker and apolitical.
- She was nicknamed “The Green Dot” to stay active in her system of work messages throughout the day and night.
- One of the former Gleason health technology workers was also subject to a critical audit and big jury report.
Amy Gleason, a little -known Federal Data Cruncher who was recently appointed administrator of the Department of Government Efficiency, has at least one thing in common with Elon Musk: a fanatic commitment to work.
Even before he became a “special government employee” and the public face of Doge, Musk was known for blazing his work ethics, even to sleep on the Factory floor Tesla.
As a Florida-based health care executive, Gleason, 53, won the nickname “The Green Dot” to be online in the work messaging system and midnight, and then again in Dawn, a former colleague told Business Insider.
“She is a beautiful, sweet person, but she is merely an superhuman when it comes to the work product,” said Travis Bond, former Caresync, a medical technology start in the Tampa area, where Gleason worked as the leading operative and main strategy official until they were folded in 2018.
“I’m surprised, but I’m not surprised,” Bond told Gleason’s new role, the latest in a career that has combined interests in nursing and technology over three decades.
“She very good at getting big, complex systems and pushing them to efficiency,” he said.

Gleason did not respond to requests for comment on this story.
In 2015, the Obama administration called Gleason a “change champion” for her CareSync work, stressing that she was inspired to help families “best coordinate care and improve health results” after her daughter was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder.
The company was previously subject to controversy.
Cloud -based medical records began in 2011 after officials in Harde County, Florida was given A $ 2.6 million grant for work development for its ancestors, Lifesync Technology.
Public registrations rank Gleason as a witness to grant documents. Lifesync Technology later worked under the names Continuum Labs and then Carsync.
A general report of the 2013 Florida Auditor in Florida criticized the process through which Grant was given, revealing that the company “had not been imposed enough to be financially and fully capable of fulfilling its obligations under grant”.
“$ 2.6 million did not bring any economic benefits for the Hardee county,” according to the report.
That year, a report by the large Hardee district jury criticized local development officials such as granting without sufficient review before, or then monitoring. “There is a lot to learn from the CareSync project and a lot of incentive to prevent this process from repeating the same way in the future,” the report said.
No charges were raised.
In 2020, Gleason was appointed as a defendant in the action of a creditor against Caresync brought to Hillsborough County, Florida.
It was not a large part of the creditor’s lawsuit. Court newspapers claim that she once broke her leg and drank beer while using a scooter in the office; Bond told Bi the details were bunk.
The company and its insurer eventually pays $ 1.4 million to resolve the issue. Gleason, who was paid over $ 200,000 a year in Caresync, waived her claim for over $ 100,000 in secession as part of the deal, judicial newspapers say.
Lawyers for both parties did not return the commentary requests by email and phone.
Gleason graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 1993, according to a review of her LinkedIn profile. She worked as a critic of the US digital service data from October 2018 to December 2021.
Gleason was one of the five federal specialists who marched the Coronavirus data flow from laboratories and hospitals during 2020 and 2021, helping to create reports and databases supported by state and public officials.
“I was forced to work with her every day for almost a year,” CNN told former Gleason’s former coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx, the former Coronavirus response of the White House, CNN told CNN.
Birx called Gleason a “truly competent, worker, concentrated woman who understands the value of the data”.
After Stints in the private sector, Gleason was working again for the United States digital service, now re -raised the White House office when it was tapped for the work of Doge Acting administrator.
Gleason is apolitical and inexplicable and will keep a new high -pressure, controversial, Bond Bi, predicting that she would “crush it”.
“She’s extremely smooth under pressure,” he said.
“She was right under Dr. Birx during Covid, and I think where she won her battlefield straps,” making the slides Birx presented to the public, he said.
“She’s usually behind the scenes, but everyone goes to her.”
