Garcia, David



Office of Personnel Management (OPM) post data breach Chief Information Officer (CIO), Oct 2017 – present.

No IT education. Only a BSc in political science.

$179,700 is Garcia's most recent annual salary as of Feb 2019 according to my FOIA request to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM). This is outrageous. Many doctors and lawyers don't make that much and, unlike Garcia, they are at least qualified; by law they have to be.

Garcia was the replacement for the notorious IT incompetent former OPM CIO, Donna Seymour, who was responsible for the massive OPM data breach in 2014. Unbelievably, they replaced the IT incompetent responsible for one of the worst data breaches of its time with another IT incompetent. The definition of a fool is someone who does the same thing over and over again but expects different results.
