After reportedly assisting DOGE at the State Department, Ross Graber was named into the position of Chief Information Officer at the Department of Energy when Ryan Riedel suddenly departed. And then after two months, he suddenly resigned from the role as well. Prior to DOGE, he had been a security manager at Yahoo, Google and then Twitter before moving into the role of Senior Director of Security Technologies at Procore Technologies (until leaving in February to join DOGE).
