She most recently served as vice president and director of the Center for Government Effectiveness and Modernization where she managed the work of government sponsors and partners, including the U.S. Treasury Department, Internal Revenue Service, Social Security Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the U.S. Courts and Judiciary. Meinert brings diverse experience in business, technology, finance, economics, and public service, and continues to serve as the officer champion for all MITRE veterans through her work with the Veterans Council.
