Previously, Mr. Krzysko served as a Department of Defense representative to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy's Data Cabinet, which was initiated to lead the effort to make leveraging the power of data the norm across the Federal government.

As the focal point for supply chain systems, Mr. Krzysko led the transformation, implementation, and oversight of enterprise capabilities for the acquisition, logistics, and procurement communities.

He began his senior executive career in the Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy Office as the first Deputy Director of e-Business. As the focal point for the acquisition domain, he was responsible for the oversight and transformation of the acquisition community into a strategic business enterprise. This included driving the adoption of e-business practices across the Department, leading the move to modernize processes and systems, and managing the investment review process and portfolio of business systems.

Before joining OSD, Mr. Krzysko led the Electronic Commerce Solutions Directorate for the Naval Air Systems Command, served in senior-level acquisition positions at the Naval Air Systems Command, including Contracting Officer of F/A-18 Foreign Military Sales, F/A-18 Developmental Programs, and the F-14, and various senior executive positions within the retail industry.
